I Did It Cruel

by Euphory


We had talked with excitement hitching our breaths

Our hearts were synched like drum beats

Our favourite day was the one that we met

Sweet singings of us carried in the breeze

But I cut off all our cords with silence

and I did it cruel

Not fighting for you was my last defiance

and I did it so cruel.

I admit it's my fault, I know it too well

but in a way, it's yours too

And I never thought our memories would

become melodies I'd cry to.

We had talked with excitement hitching our breaths

but I turned those moments into deep regrets

for you

But no matter how it ended,

how well I pretended,

I still and always will care 

for you.

Hola!
Here to conquer your words & polish your thoughts!
I'm here for a quick review. Before the suggestions, I'm not expert in poetry and I might not be able to go into ity-bity details of what to fix and what could be better.

Our favourite day was the one that we met
Sweet singings of us carried in the breeze
But I cut off all our cords with silence
and I did it cruel


"favourite" is spelled "favorite" in what I know.

Over the suggestion, I love how you write it! The flow is really smooth and it's has calm and in both ways dramatic way about it. It's a beautiful poem and I just really think it was a wonderful time reading this.

You are a wonderful writer!

Thank you for sharing this!
Your Reader,
ChrisDixon

Thank you so very much for the review <3 "favorite" and "favourite" are both correct spellings except the former one is used in American English and the latter one is used in British English. Since I grew up mostly learning British English, "favourite" is the spelling thay comes more naturally to me so I hope I was able to clear that up! %u2606 and thanks again for such encouraging and kind words, I truly appreciate it <3

Hello!! So before I get on to the review I just want to say that I'm no expert or professional so don't take anything too seriously.
On to the review! So I really love the style of this poem. It flows really well, it's really easy to read, and has this calm and regretful feeling to it.

"I admit it's my fault, I know it too well

but it way, it's yours too"
This part has a few commas in it which changes up the previous pattern of the words.
Also the part where you say "but it way" doesn't make a lot of sense to me (personally). Im just wondering if you meant "but in a way".

I also love how you ended it.

"But no matter how it ended,

how well I pretended,

I still and always will care

for you."
Rhyming ended and pretended really helped bring it to a close off the flow of words gently.
Another thing was how you gave the ending more of a emotional feel and really gave it a lot of closure.
