I'm sorry

My dearest,

_

Please forgive me.

I have ruined the balanced life,

You always preferred.

_

All things must come to an end,

And it just happened to be mine.

I hope you don't mind.

_

I don't quite have the words for you.

Knowing nothing will calm you down,

After hearing of my passing.

I don't know why I am trying,

All I can picture is you crying.

_

I'm so sorry, Sophia.

I wish we could have grown old together.

I will see you again, one day.

_

Till that day,

I will be your guardian angel.

I will protect you now and always.

_

Love,

Isaiah.

Hello my name is Yuki blah blah blah let's get down to business.
I will say that this is a fairly good poem that you came up with "out of the blue" it pretty much is a type of love poem in my world. Just saying my world is full of anime people, so I looked at this as if this is a letter given to Sophia one day by her lover I guess, and she's crying over it. I know kind of dramatic. But let's just say the lover died (I'm saying that because the last two stanzas, which doesn't include the closing, it sounds like the guy died. Remember I'm looking at this in an anime world.) So for a little girl with a wild anime world i will say that if this was based on something and if you were a touchy person you would be all over the poem tearing up. Anyway I liked how you kind of out the reader that this lover was dead with out saying it. Really getting us to infer, and what my teacher says "Reading between the lines."

Hey there. I'll be giving you a short review.
I have only noticed one error there.
"

All things must come to an end,

And it just happened to be mine."
I think it's kind of weird because if you think about it, it translates that his thing will soon come to an end. I think you meant "life". So, I would suggest replacing the "things" word with "life" so you could keep the rhyme and the accuracy as well.
Next, I absolutely think this is an awesome work but the ingredient that this is lacking are the deep emotions hiding behind the poem. Don't get me wrong, I like your poem. I just think it would catch the feelings of the readers well if it stirs up their emotions with heart-breaking scenes and such. Well, that's all.
You have a very nice talent. Keep it up. Kudos! :)

Hello, I'm Howl

The poem in all was really nice, but there are a few things that don't seem right. When you say: "All things must come to an end, and it just happened to be mine." it doesn't really flow, maybe you can change it to something like "and I guess it's my time." That's just off the top off my head and it may not be good. In "knowing nothing will calm you down" maybe you can put the word can instead of will. Overall it was a great poem.

Hello GreenTulip!

I really like it! It's not quite a poem, it's like a letter. I found something that could be an error, but I'm not sure.

"Knowing nothing will clam you down," calm you down? And you might want to make it a little clearer, I thought that you meant that her knowing nothing would calm her down.

Otherwise, you did a great job! I'm just wondering what he did... But it's poetry, and that doesn't matter much. It's really good.
