Broken.

Broken.

Please just stay where you are.

I’m broken,

and far past gone.

Just stop,

saying this is a war that can be won.

I lost it long before dawn.

I know,

even tho you say you can,

you can’t see past the scars on my wrist.

Please just admit,

This is just a dark story,

without a happy twist.

The way I feel,

so lost with you is love,

so they say.

But our love,

has a dark twist.

I'm gone.

They say,

I’ve sold my soul to darkness.

Hello Collideascope!

First off, this poem is awesome!!!!! I especially like how you finished it off with the last line, it really leaves a lasting impression on the readers mind. And this, like a lot of poetry, could have many meanings. Personally, I like to look at it as if the war she's fighting is depression or something of that sort. Though this piece is quite small, it is also quite potent. Leaving an imprint that one could think about for weeks on end.

Whoa. Just whoa. I have some corrections but all I can say is whoa.
-----
"Please(,)

(Just) stay where you are." Please needs a comma then you indent if you stay with your style (which is brilliant.)

"Just stop () saying this is a war that can be won." No comma because this is a complete thought.

"I know,

even (though) you say you can,

(Cannot) see past the scars on my wrist."

"The way I feel,

so lost with you(,)

is love,

so they say."
Indent is love because it is a separate thought in a way.

Good job. it's a small piece but nice.. i love small works.

well, don't laugh but somehow, this poem reminds me something about magic! I'm already a potterhead so don't mind.

The last line must be containing some deep meaning. i like the way it has been told,
"I've sold my soul to darkness."

at last, you did a wonderful job. keep doing more!

god bless you! have a good time. ^_^
