The Most Beautiful Frown

I am trying to learn to cope with my feelings.

Despite the years I have spent looking at different ceilings,

I still can not get over the love that spills for you.

-

I have been to many different towns

And seen many different frowns

But no frown was ever like yours.

-

This sounds quite stupid, trust me I know.

But your frown was the prettiest one you could show

I hated seeing it, but you were still so beautiful.

-

Your beauty was honestly beyond words

Like the sound of music from incredible birds.

It was the type of beauty that you admire

-

It all started with a little frown

And me noticing that you were so down

This led to texts, emails, and love.

-

I came to understand that you were not happy

And you did everything to avoid being crappy.

I fell in love with this part of you.

-

You moved on eventually, despite my pleas

And I spent the next few days staring at trees.

Trying to find my purpose in life because you were gone.

-

Now, about a month down the road.

I realized that I loved you in a very secret code

No one except you and I understood our romance

-

This bothers me very much, and keeps me awake

Reminds me of how you put our relationship on a break.

This break turned permanent and it’s really quite sad.

-

I have not moved on, I still sob now and then

But, my relief in life seems to be this pen.

So here’s my permanent release from this pain.

Hey, BaileyTheHooser, it's AshleyDashley here for a quick review!

First off this was a sad yet beautiful poem! I loved the emotion from it and the love. I felt it as I read and it went to my heart. You did an amazing job writing it. I saw no grammar errors, but my glasses broke so I can't see very well. If there are sorry. I saw no other errors so marvelous job on that. The way you wrote it was also good and the flow kept me reading. I enjoyed reading this and if you wanna talk I'm here to listen. Keep up the magnificent work and I hope to read more of your work in the future!

Hi BaileyTheHoosier!

Amazing poem, really love the way it flows. I like its depth, it's just right.

A couple of suggestions, though.

'It was the type of beauty that you admire

-

It all started with a little frown'

The lines are beautifully written but I feel that these two stanzas do not connect, somehow. Maybe you could try adding another stanza or two in between?

And, in the last stanza, your first and last line seem to be a little contradictory. I'm not sure how you can rewrite it, but I hope you'll get what I'm trying to say.

Once again, it's a wonderful poem :)
