To quote MysteryMe:
This was beautiful. It's just so honest and plays with the reader's emotions. All of the references to the music and acting were great! They brought it to life and really spiced up what would be just a regular love poem.
Like MysteryMe, I share the same favorite stanza with them:
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Even though I haven't had my first kiss yet(not even a boyfriend) I can relate to this. (I dream about it all the time) It's just got so much emotion, it's impossible not to feel what you are feeling.
The entire poem flows smoothly and sounds great. Thank-you for this!
(And don't worry about it being to personal with too many references. It was great! Besides, when something is personal, you know it comes from the heart!)
Happy World Cup and New Year!

Wow.... honestly, this is stunning. It has so much beauty and truth, and the emotion in it is astounding. I love how you have so many similes, all related to one of the many skills that this boy had. This is just so amazing!!!
My favorite stanza was by far:
"You played my heart like you play the guitar
Then cut me off like a broken string
Yet you're still strumming a song
You're leading me on
And I hum along."
Just so beautiful! It flows so wonderfully and it all relates so perfectly. Great, just great.
Hope this helped!!! Keep writing!

Thanks! I'm honored you liked it
Hey! I really liked this poem! I liked how you compared everything to music. Like the guy being the director and the girl being played. That's really creative. In the first stanza i liked how you started out like this; "You played my heart like you play the piano With gentle touch, you found the right keys. Did we hit a wrong note?" I liked how you put "Did we hit a wrong note?" Anyway I liked it overall and how it was compared to music.
Thank you!
You're too kind.
Well, This was just amazing. You hit all three of my soft spots in one piece: Poetry, Music, and Les Miserables. I don't have anything else to say besides you did a damn fine job my friend! really just wow. I loved it. Keep writing, definitely keep writing!
Cheers!

Your review was such an encouragement because you obviously have great taste in theatre and life. Thanks!
I have to concur with Liaya about this poem. It was amazing! I loved your metaphors, and felt all of them deeply despite how few words you used. Many words don't make good words! You got that down to a point. And it's so true that matters of the heart are often 'broken chords', yet we keep going back to them Good poem, keep it up!
Hope that helps!
Thank you! And yes, glad you didn't think the poem was too long! I for one thought it might be too lengthy, considering I tend to ramble when I vent.
I love this! The way you compare everything to music really had an effect on me, because music is an indispensable part of my life. (I also loved your reference to Eponine; I had been wondering if your username was based off the song from Les Mis!) I thought it was just the right amount of drama and emotion, your words flowed wonderfully, and the similes were both fun and vivid.
Some people feel poems should rhyme. Also, I don't think poetry has to be something a person can understand, merely something that they can either relate to or evokes emotion. There are tons of famous poets that make no sense when they write! I think it's just great and I look forward to reading more of your stuff!
I have to say, I also love the freestyle of your poem. I like that your stanzas and lines can be whatever length they want and that you don't bother with rhyming; it's all about the flow and rhythm. That's how I prefer to write poetry, but I've been given some grief about it!
Thank you! Now it's my turn to smile
What a great review. I'm happy the poem resonated with you despite the specifics. And I'm happy you didn't mind my freestyle way of writing it!
