These Tears That Are Falling

These tears that are falling,
They’re falling for a reason.
This reason is quite simple.
It’s simple because of you.
Because of you, I’m crying.
I’m crying because of you,
And what you been to me
You’ve been, hard, mean,
Unloving, cruel, shameful,
And most of all..... you’ve
Never noticed how you’re
Never, ever, there for......
Me...

Hi there

This poem is simple and says alot. You conveyed your emotions simply and it still sounds like a poem.

I like how you would use repetition. It was very effective. you would end a line with something and then start the next adding more info on the previous. I like that. :)
Also your use of ellipses was good. and the way you ended it was great as well. :)

I still think that you can put in more emotion to it, although it is geat the way it is, but I think you can do it. :)

Hey, Yubbies21!
Euph here to review your poem, again. ^-^
I just love your work, haha.

Let me start off by saying that I love the emotion set here in this poem of depression due to someone who is clearly unappreciative of someone who clearly cares about them, and is vendictive and cruel to them, never seeing them for what they are worth.

My only two suggestions for you are
A. Include more colorful vocabulary to lure your readers in further. This will allow us to get a better visual.
B. Line breaks! Separate the ideas to allow the reader to process each thought more clearly.

You could try doing breaks between "It’s simple because of you." and
"Because of you, I’m crying."

You could also include one between "Unloving, cruel, shameful." And "Most of all........"
Also, delete the last comma after shameful and make it into a period.
Also, get rid of the "and" in the tenth line.

Overall, I really like the emotions that are clearly evident and the flow of this poem. Keep up the good work, Yubbies!
I hope that this review could help you in some way.
