Silent Music

In Poetry

I think it's better to write about
a first heartbreak 
            in poetry pages than in journals,

The words can come out right
without sounding cheesy but
             the pain is more apparent.

I don't know how,
I don't know why
             how it came to be this way

All I know is that 
his face is in my head
              I can't really explain.

The pain is not so fresh,
it feels kind of numb.
              but I wish I could confess

My chest feels hollow,
not like the day before yesterday
              circumstances change.

His signals were clear-
he liked me a lot.
               And I fell for it.

But not it's different- we're just friends
stuck in that horrible                    
              Neverland

And I miss him more
than I ever thought I could
              Turns out Neverland's not pretty at all.

It's dark but clear,
like the sky that's yet to rain
               It never gets better than yesterday.

Maybe it was all in my head-
It'd do something like that
              unlike how I expected.

But I can't believe that
I almost broke it off                 
              so he couldn't hurt me.

But I changed my mind,
Wow how irony shows,
              he hurt me instead.

Now we play music
and all I can hear:
              the melody from our hearts:

It's cold-ringing- and             
              silent.

Hello there, Phoenixwriter! ^^

I am here to review this awesome piece of yours for you! As you know it's review day (GO TEAM YELLOW DUCK! 8D) and so I was wandering through the forums and kept wandering and then I saw this title and it dragged me right in! 8D And pfff why does this awesome piece not have a review yet =O *goes to fix that*
I hope I can give you a good and helpful review. I will do my best!

Pff, I am going to start off by saying that I really LOVE this piece! There are a million poems about heartbreak (I probably wrote some of those XP) and I've read quite a lot of them, yet this poem still amazes me and still gives me the feeling like I am reading something new. So congratulations on that!

I'm not quite so sure yet whether I like the formation of this poem, because it kind of broke the rhythm for me but at the same time it's also something special/different.

I don't know how,
I don't know why
how it came to be this way.

I think it would sound better if you scrapped the "how". =)

All I know is that
his face is in my head,
I can't really explain.

A comma over there would make it easier to read. =)

The pain is not so fresh,
it feels kind of numb.
but I wish I could confess

You either need to change that period into a comma or you have to capitalize the "b".

But not it's different- we're just friends

I think this should be "now".

than I ever thought I could,

Needs a comma. =)

like the sky that's yet to rain

It needs a comma or a period at the end. =)

Wow, how irony shows,


Okay so those were all the grammatical errors I could find and don't worry at all because they are easy to fix! 8D

That was all I had to say for now. =) If you have any questions, just ask. Thank you for sharing this and keep writing!
