Don’t cry for me
Because I never want to see another tear
Don’t ask me about what happened:
No one will ever know.
None but me.
I’ll remain trapped in memory
Haunting me like a shadow
Following me like a demon
Torturing me
I never knew that hate had a body;
I did not know pain bore the face of a man
I’d never known how red
Blood truly was
Did you know that you can shiver from cold
Beneath five blankets?
Cold is not felt by the body,
But dreaded by the soul.
Have you felt that the feel of tears
Streaming down your face
Is the only warmth to know?
The tears I’ve shed are endless
But they’re no more
I am a body,
Living yet lifeless
Breathing yet breathless.
Don’t cry for me.

I really love this poem. I could feel the emotion behind it and it was just so strong. Not a very useful comment but just keep on writing. My favourite lines:
Wow...that poem...was amazing. Beautiful. I loved it.
It was deep with emotion and I couldn't help, but feel as if someone understands what I'm going through too. Whether this is true, or not, personal, or fiction, you really described well. The relation I had with this made it all the more great.
One of my favorite parts right there ^
So completely true...great description.
This is when I thought I could really relate. Brilliant ending.
Great job with this! So powerful...

This is a really good piece of work! Bravo!
I also was wondering what the 'thing' was that we shouldn't cry about unless it is personal, but other than that, I really enjoyed this!
Hi-ya! I'll make this short and sweet! Love love love it!
My favorite line: " I never knew hate had a body"
Brilliant work!!!!
Hi! I won't be too nit-picky - it seems KatarinaLatisse has done it! Take her advice, haha.
I liked the simple wording in this, I think it worked well, and captured the basis of emotions
like loneliness very easily. Perhaps making it a bit more emotional and dramatic might be the trick!
Lovely work!

I can relate to this. If you don't mind, can I ask what it's about? You don't have to answer if it's really personal or something.
Great imagery. Even if someone has never felt this way, They could still imagine it. (I think...)
It makes me think of winter and autumn., when all the leaves are dying, and any plants left are killed by the frost and snow and ice. Weird connection, I know. That's just me.
Sorry this review wasn't much help. That's also just me. I like this just the way it is.
Keep Writing,

I really liked this piece! It was really sad and I could just feel the emotion bursting behind the words. Amazing... I really liked your description. The structure and flow seemed consistent and easy to follow. The only thing that slowed it down a little was the puncuation. I think it needs more of it.
Anyway, sorry for nit-picking it so much. In poetry, puncuation isn't a major requirement, it just helps it flow better sometimes, so do what you feel is best. I really enjoyed your piece just how it is. Thanks for sharing!
