Always and forever

by racingforever10

Never say 'I Love You'
If you really do not care.
Never talk about having feelings,
If they aren't truly there!

Never hold my hand
If you're just gonna break my heart.
Never claim you're going to,
If you never plan to start!

Never look into my eyes,
If all you do is lie.
Never even say 'Hello'
If you really mean 'Goodbye'

If you really mean forever
Then fail after saying you'll try.
NEVER say forever because
Forever usually ends up making me cry!

I love this poem! It has a strong message that people understand and (unfortunately) endure every day. The rhyme scheme is simple, but that works well for the poem. Maybe try experimenting with different styles and techniques until you come up with something that is 100% you. Keep writing! This is excellent!

The poem was great. I really enjoyed it. I liked how the stanza were short and got to the point. And the poem was written very well and it put me in a happy mood, (because I tried to bake a cake and usually it works, but I forgot to and vinegar so it didn't turn out right) so keep writing,

This is really great, I think it's a poem everyone can relate to, and it's really nicely portrayed.

Never say 'I Love You'
If you really do not care.
Never talk about having feelings,
If they aren't truly there!

Never hold my hand
If you're just gonna break my heart. (This line is too long. If you have to read it to fit the rhythm, you have to read it in a way that sounds weird and awkward)
Never claim you're going to,
If you never plan to start!

Never look into my eyes, (I really love this verse! It just flows so beautifully when you read it!)
If all you do is lie.
Never even say 'Hello'
If you really mean 'Goodbye'

If you really mean forever
Then fail after saying you'll try.
NEVER say forever because
Forever usually ends up making me cry! (This it too long too. Maybe you could try something like, "Forever usaually makes me cry!" or something like that! But forever makes me cry too!)


I really love this, it's very truthful and sad, but also very beautiful!

Quick comment:)
I really liked this poem and I wouldn't change anything about it.
It really shows how many things you have to go through in life to get to the good parts.
I could really feel the emotion coming through it as the words flowed out.
Overall, I really thought you used all the right words and I wouldn't change anything about it.
Keep writing:)

Never say "I Love You"
If you really do not care. ----> i think "Don't" was more appropriate
Never talk about having feelings,
If they aren't truly there

Well, I'm being honest right now, hope you're not one of those people to take it strong, but I didn't like it. The point you were trying to show was clear, and it was a good point, but the way you wrote was kind of flimsy (excuse my vocabulary).
It was weak and lacking emotion. The last line -

"Forever usually ends up making me cry!"


broke the rhythm (non-existent rhythm).
Again, you might want to consider the wording. And no hard feelings.

I really don't think I can say much else that hasn't already been said, other than I really liked this. It's so true to real life. I also loved the perfect flow with the rhyming, because sometimes that can get shaky. Great job, and keep it up!

Pretty good. It shows a good point. Is also hard to say things with rhyming poetry and i think that u explained it very well.

Never say "I Love You"
If you really do not care. Great start :D
Never talk about having feelings,
If they aren't truly there! This line is a little awkward and I don't think you need an exclamation point at the end of it.


If you never plan to start!
Again, you don't really need this exclamation point.

Never even say "Hello"
If you really mean "Goodbye".


This was a pretty good poem.

You had great emotion and good flow almost all the way through.
The last stanza is really odd though. It seems like there should've been another line before the first one and the flow is all weird in it...

But, it was pretty good anyways :D

Keep writing,
Alzora

Hello racingforever10,
This is reall a good poem you have here! The emotion and diction match well. The ony thig hat caught mye ye as something you mght want to consider fixing is the last ine.

Forever usually ends up making me cry!
To me,this sems to be too long a lin to fi with the rest ofthe poem. Maybe somehing like Forever makes me cry! would fit better. Other than that, anything I could say would be repeating your well-deserved cogradulations.

Nice poem! I liked it. It felt very personal (to you). A few things I don't like are the sudden change in beats and rhythm, but other than that I don't see spelling mistakes. Keep up the good work!

I loved it. The message was so true! I think that guys and girls do this to eachother so often, and it isn't right. Why pretend to be n a relationhip? It's jut hurting everyone. You did a great job conveying this, and it was really good. Keep writing!

I loved it. "Don't hold my hand if you're gonna break my heart" I think a lot of girls would like to tell that to a guy.

This is so true. So many people say it when they don't even mean it.

Keep on writing, can't wait to read more.

Aww! I love this poem! I find that most rhyming poetry tends to be clumpy and disjointed and corny...however this one was different...it flowed beautifully! I have only one nitpick...;)

racingforever10 wrote:Never hold my hand
If you're just gonna break my heart. - this sentence seems too long for the stanza, try: 'If you're going to break my heart.'
Never claim you're going to,
If you never plan to start!


*like* and happy writing!

fun fact i hear my evil twin once wrote a story about a hacker who used the name fyshi33k bc there are 33k-ish species of fish and she liked phishing so fyshi-33k made sense but then she got super embarrassed when someone forced her to explain
