Dear Stranger......I think i love u

E - Everyone

In gg

All those words I had to say,

All those words begging you to stay,

Poured out as silent tears,

Limitless throughout the years.

Because I had a feeling,

They could have never stopped you from leaving,

A love story that occurred out of the blue,

A girl offering her heart to someone new.

Its a story that's never meant to happen,

Never meant to be written,

But oh am I trapped and beaten,

The limpness of my clenched fists of determination.

My heart that shattered into unrecognizable pieces full of pain,

Impossible to stitch whole again,

Why had I been such a loser,

To fall in love with a stranger.

For just the mere brightness of his smiles,

The endless sparkles from his eyes,

That face etched with wit and intelligence,

Blossomed with youth and innocence.

Oh how I questioned my sanity,

For falling so pathetically and hopelessly,

The hurt of thousands of knives like a young man full of sin,

The invisible sharp razors penetrating my skin.

The eyes of humiliation leering at me,

Laughing at my own stupidity,

You who had never talked to me,

Made me see how beautiful gratitude could be.

Gratitude for your presence,

Gratitude for your essence,

Only to be taken away,

In front of me a box full of dismay.

Never before had I savor the beauty of his voice,

But did i even have a choice,

When fate kept toying with my life,

Destiny inscribing your name onto my soul with his knife.

Love took you away,

And kept me trapped in your cage,

Forcing into me the bitterness of that love, that poison,

Life and commonsense laughing at my situation.

Is this Karma,

Am i punished by the cruelty of my past desires,

To play with other's feelings,

Now its coming back to me, game over, i'm loosing.

For anyone who reads this,

I'm just pining for someone i miss,

I apologize for the inconvenience,

For letting you into my tragic experience.

For moving on is never easy,

Because unchangeable are the memories,

Unforgettable is the past,

Because love is meant to last.

So even if i feel like first love is a lie,

True love can die,

No matter how short our times together were,

My heart is possessed by a stranger.

Amazing poetry, but you must focus on adding things, such as on the second to last line you said "No matter short out times together were" you forgot to add in "how." No matter how short our times together were... this happened also on the 6th line as your poem, "They could never stopped you from leaving" you forgot to add in "have." They could have never stopped you from leaving." Also don't forget, all "I's" are supposed to be capital on a few lines you wrote "i" instead of "I" other than that you did simply amazing! beautiful rhyming, and it is very heart touching! Great job. Laurenlovely.

Hi! Chits here for a review.

First of all, its really commendable, how to structured your feelings and emotions in such a beautiful way. I should say that this is the best poem I have ever read. Truely heart touching.

Your rhyming scheme really goes well. Creates a good flow while reading. I am, till this date, not able to rhyme in such a good manner. Winks.

Coming to improvement, I also think ,like the others, that it would be better if you would have divided it into paragraphs. You can also try different figures of speech like epigram and climax to make your piece more appealing.

Over all, this is an amazing poem. Thank you for sharing it. Looking forward for more.

Keep writing!

À beautiful peice of work ! I really enjoy how you put in your emotions into this beautiful piece of work !! Totally relatable ! One thing I learnt from other reviewers, you should make it noticeable that this is broken into stanzas....since dividing up your poem could make your writing more organized and also much easier times for readers when they have read this amazing price ! Indentation would also be a beautiful tool to make your poem look even more attractive and professional !!!
