Myers here. Let's agree to disagree, shall we?

The line "For if you could really love": I think the word "could" can be replaced with "had" because you didn't write "you say you "can" love her' so "could" does not fit in there.

Secondly, the line "For if you could really love": it needs to balance the sentence to account for the stress in the previous lines. You can write is like "For if you really did" or "For if you had really loved her". Give it a read keeping in mind what I've suggested, and you'll know it.

The line "Never wonder if you're there": it really does not tell us who is saying this line. It needs a subject to clearly express its meaning.

The following two lines "From the beauty that is her" and "For you do believe": both these lines can be written differently. This is how: For the beauty she is" "You would believe in".

The following lines "You might lose her forever" and "Should you look away too long": you can write these lines as: "May be losing her forever" and "For looking away too long".

In the third stanza, the line "Lose her forever" feels like a repetition from the second last line of the second stanza. You can write is as: " And forever without her;". That semicolon is there to link it to the second line "A fate even worse than death".

The last three line of the third stanza are an abrupt change in the overall design/style/flow of the poem where you have wrote them like it is a prose.

I feel like that is too much. Please it is not to offend you in any way. It was all to help you in your journey.

Hi!
You've already received some great comments about punctuation, so let's move on, shall we?

"You would make the time
Despite how busy you are
She could never be
An hour scheduled in between
All the things to do
A brief message then forget
Because you just do not care."

This stanza hit me hard! Such a great way to close your poem! I feel like you just described heartache in a modern and fresh way, with very effective metaphors.

Regarding the first stanza, I got the idea that you wanted to put emphasis on the word "love". I understand what you were trying to do, but personally it feels a little redundant and considering it's the stanza that introduces us to the rest of this beautiful poem, I don't think it gives justice to the rest of your composition. I'd like to point out that this is just an observation based on my personal taste.

Overall I think you did a great job!

Love it so much!!! I think I just found my favorite poem.

Hello!

I like what you have here, expressing ways to show love to someone who really deserves better treatment. It's like a third person pining away for someone who is in an undeserving relationship, or what the person thinks is not enough.

Generally, I love how you start this. It's an excellent introduction for your piece and the spin you're using for this theme. The starting few lines are a little weird to me, though. I can see the parallelism here, but it doesn't really flow for me. It... could easily be because there's no punctuation here. I'm not really sure? But if you're planning to stick with no punctuation, I think these first three lines need to be reorganized or rewritten. Right now, the opening line just looks like a mistake after reading the second line, like it forgot the word "her". I like the third line if the second line was gone though! So, hence, they just need to be looked at and juggled a bit more.

So you have some really good lines reading through this piece, but I really just feel like punctuation is necessary in this piece. There are several lines here that don't really stand on their own and, therefore, don't really flow well. It's disruptive to have to reread a couple lines simply because you didn't realize that line was the start of a sentence. This piece doesn't really rely on connected, running thoughts without pause. This sentence thrives on punctuation because it's a discussion, a monologue of sorts, and the speaker is being very precise and clear about what he's trying to say. Example!

But never away
From the beauty she carries
For you do believe
You might lose her forever
Should you look away too long.

Lose her forever
A fate even worse than death
So to prevent it
You would show her the depths of
Your undying love

And how you would show her that
Would be through so many ways.

You would make the time
Despite how busy you are
She could never be
An hour scheduled in between
All the things to do
A brief message then forget forgotten
Because you just do not care.

Hello, FlamingPhoenix here with a review for you on this lovely night, I'll try to make this short, and help get this out the green room.

Let's start shall we.

So the only thing I saw that needed to be fixed was that you don't have very much punctuation. If you don't put enough of it in your poem, the flow wont be the way you want it. And the emotions you want to get across wont really go as well.

But having said that I thought this poem was really well written, and the emotion that you did get across was very strong and I could feel it through out the whole poem, and it was nice to read. And ever if you didn't have that much punctuation in your poem you still had a nice flow, and it was a joy to read. I thought the length of your poem was also really good, I felt like it was just the right length, enough to get across what you needed to.

Well that's all from me for now, I hope this review helped you. It was a great joy to read and review. Never stop writing because your writing is really good, and enjoyable to read. Have a great day or night.
