A Broken Heart is Hard to Replace

Submitted by stonerbaby1 on July 24, 2008 - 08:10.

Their is a time when hearts are broken

I wish you wouldn't have broke mine.

You don't understand how I feel

nobody does

That's why I ask you

Why you left me

You meant the world to me

you took it away

Kyle don't you see

I am head over heels

In love with you

I don't mean what I say When I said I hated you

Think that it is opposite

What I meant to say

Is I love you

kyle in every way

This poem is very touching. I am able to feel the emotion of the main character and understand the concept. Something to could do: Maybe put things that happpen to them when they were in love. it could make the conflict more powerful. Maybe Restate the question of "why did you left me".
Great Work!!!^_^V
