Broken Hearted

by GreenTulip


Broken Hearted:

It was November of '12.
A beautiful fall night,
when it was that you
asked me something that
would change my life forever.

It was November of '12,
when these words were uttered
by type.
"Would you go out with me?"
After a long, sweet message.

It was November of '12,
on a beautiful night,
when I uttered, by type,
the words,
"Yes, yes I will."

It was November of '12.
Then it was December of '12.
The fifteen day,
was a special day.
A month since those words had
been spoken, written,
formed from thoughts.

It was late December of '12.
A start of a heartbreaking period,
School was out for winter break,
I was out of school till I moved.

A chasm in my heart that
could not be crossed,
formed and I could not bring myself
to say the words.

It was early January of '13.
I was five states away,
you still in the same state.

I felt terrible,
when the truth came out.
For one person had spoken to you
a secret I had only told him.

A secret that I could
no longer continue dating.

It was early January of '13.
The truth came out, and I felt bad.

But you said I shouldn't feel guilty.
But I felt guilty anyway.

I still had felt guilty,
as I had to do it over
Facebook instead face to face.

Okay...guys. This is just an author's note for you done here. I am willing to give you more background on why I wrote this poem, or clarify something in the poem. Just comment that you want it done and I shall do it.

heyyy
so that's not your first poem i read , and like the others it is quite true and full of emotions and kind of deep .
i liked the structure and the organization of your poem , also the expression "It was November of '12." then "It was december of '12." and so on ....it add a special cute touch to your poem .

''when it was that you
asked me something that
would change my life forever. ''
this part didn't flow in a good way , maybe it's because of the word "that"
i always focus on imagery in my reviews cause for me it makes the poem so attractive even if it has a simple idea /theme ...so i suggest to add imagery .

"But you said I shouldn't feel guilty.
But I felt guilty anyway.

I still had felt guilty,
as I had to do it over
Facebook instead face to face. "
i don't know if these are separated parts buti didn't like the repeatition of "guilty".
but i liked how you finished the poem it was soo strong and catchy.

in general

you got TALENT and i really like your works , so keep writing
can't wait to read more :)

Hello, Ana with a review!

I love this poem. It describes the feelings that I think many teens and young adults have, both about moving and losing a special someone. I can almost feel what you're going through by the poem. I like how you keep returning to the month and year. It's a unifying element that ties the whole thing together well. I don't have any improvements, and the grammar and spelling are good.

Keep it coming!

okay, I wrote this about a year ago when I move from Missouri to South Carolina, becasue my Dad was relocated. THis poem is the feelings I had when I did that, and left the one guy that I truly liked behind. I still feel guilty to this day, but there you go.
