E - Everyone

I Lost You, But It's Okay.

It was all so cold.
The day you decided
That you didn't need me.
It was all so sudden,
That day that I discovered
Your true colors.

I loved you and trusted you.
You were my best friend.
But I'm young, and I don't
Quite understand.

I tried to stay strong,
Though losing you
Tore me apart in so many ways.

It's hard to admit,
But I didn't think
That I could handle it

So I made a threat
On my life.

But I'm okay.
I'm perfectly fine.
Because now I see
That really,
You should have
never mattered to me.

Who's an amazing writer? SUZETTETHEHIPSTER XD
This is fantastic! It's relatable in so many ways. I could feel the agony and sorrow at first, but when it made a strong turn at the end.

Betrayal, Sorrow, Abandonment, Regret, Depression and brokenness is reflecting throughout the poem! I love it!

I hate those kind of people where, they act like they're your friend or when your partner promises something like "Forever" and other promises, but then at the end they can't even keep it. I hate the fact that, people are promising words that they can't even do or keep. This world is really so cold. People are breaking. And this poem... This poem should really go worldwide xD It shows that even after someone broke you, you can always pick up the pieces and build a new you. It's really motivating, inspiring and encouraging. It's really fantastic! These are the types of poems that most teenagers should read now. Because this is truly beautiful. I really love the ending. It shows strength and power. It's very wise. You're wise for creating this poem and all.

Like just wow. This is really amazing.

Keep up the good work! Don't stop writing masterpieces like this! :D

Thank you so much, it means alot! :3

Hey there Sarai! Alex here to review your poem!
I always like to start with the positives: so let us roll with that!
Postives:
I loved the overall tone and mood to the poem. The first stanza especially was very powerful and really gave a great start to the poem! You also bring the poem to a very nice conclusion. This poem seems to be the result of some deep inspiration on this topic because I felt that the poem was very true and accurate especially saying that "You should have never mattered to me.

Now for the nitpicks!

Nitpicks
1) I'm half agreeing with Secrete about the first stanza but I would like to mention that if you want to be all fancy and stuff a colon is just as applicable here! :3

2) I'm a little bit confused about the random italics everywhere. If you are trying to add emphasis with these you may want to rearrange them. It sounds very wrong in my head where they are currently.

3)

So I made a threat
On my life.

I have divided opinions on this one: First I like the sharpness of this because it gets to the point but I also feel like it could be expanded a tiny bit while still retaining the feel of it.

Conclusion:
Overall, loved the poem and I have left a like! Remember that this is your work and you do not have to listen to any advice given here; it's just my opinion.

Hello! SecreteJournalist here for a lovely little review on this lovely little poem! First, nitpicks. Then, praise.

Nitpicks;


It was all so cold.
The day you decided
That you didn't need me.
It was all so sudden,
That day that I discovered
Your true colors.


Notice how, 'It was all so cold' has a period at the end. Notice, also, how 'It was all so sudden' has a comma. You have three options in correcting this; A.) Add a period to 'It was all so sudden' instead of a comma. B.) Add a comma to 'It was all so cold' instead of a period. C.) Ignore this, because in all truth, it doesn't have to be formatted this way if you don't want it to be. This is just a suggestion.


Honestly, that's my only nitpick. So... praise time!


Praise;

I love how you ended this the most. The end is a slap in the face, realization to the audience. I could go on with praise for a while, but you get the idea! Keep writing, I'll keep reviewing!

Sincerely,
SecreteJournalist

I'm here to review on your newly-posted work, especially since you have creatively come up with an eye-catching title. I shall introduce myself-- that I am Brunnera xD

First of all I have only written one poem, and even my one and only poem was rather a clumsy piece of work, so you should know I'm not one to criticize or format poetry. I love reading them though, and works like yours are often the ones I enjoy the most. However, since I am no expert, any word of advice from me, you should take as a reader's opinion instead of a professional's.

There was one thing I rather disliked about this. See, when I read a poem, I read it aloud. And since almost every stanza has one word in italic format, I put emphasis on the word, and the whole thing sounds quite weird, rather than fitting. Like in the second and fourth stanzas, I think that the italic formatted word are inappropriate.

Secondly, I remember somebody reviewed on my clumsy poem-- said something about the capitalization in poetry. Each line should not be start with a capital letter unless if it is a new sentence. As this user has taught me: a capital letter marks the start of a new subject, and readers will tend to view it as the start of another sentence. So, unless if the line before it has a full-stop, when you start a new line, make it a small letter instead of capital.

For example:

" So I made a threat
On my life. "

It should be:

" So I made a threat
on my life. "

That's what others have told me though. This is merely an amateur's opinion xD Perhaps another user with more experience in the poetry section will give you professional advice.

What I enjoyed of this work were the simple words constructed and put together to create a gripping poem that captures the reader by heart.

One can relate so much to the poem-- the bitter feeling of betrayal, the pain of being confused and dumbfounded, the self-hatred and self-pity which consumes one upon the realization of being deceived...

Beautiful.

I enjoyed this little piece of work, do keep writing, eh?

Hey!
I really liked this poem, the rhythm with which it flowed, the way you expressed do much and the meaning you gave.
I normally wouldn't italicize the words you did, but I actually liked it, they portrayed a kind of innocence.
I was wondering if "I made a threat on my life" would be more grammatically right as "I made a threat to my life".
I noticed you capitalized every new line, not every new sentence. Was this intentional?
I felt the last line was a perfect last line, keep writing!
