    This poem goes from a stanza of imagination provoking words, to straight out explination, but I like it. I like the first stanza for it's imagery and it lets the reader apply their own situation to your words. The procrastination part is like something straight out of my mouth, I am the worst offender for it, and I hate it. But we all do it in these sorts of situations. This is very relatable, as is the second stanza. The second line - love it. So simple yet I bet every person that can relate to this all nodded at how much they agree to how this feels. Trying to change the past with hopes and questions like what you wrote in the next line, but we all know they don't work.
    The third stanza changed my mind on this piece - I didn't see this coming. And not in a bad way, but it did confuse me a bit? The second line was stinging - well written. The third, I think there should be a comma in there;
    'Though your lies were smart[,] I'll forgive but not forget,'
    And I think by this line you mean that she was trying to take him from you by saying that she thought he loved her?
    But then in the last line, I'm not sure why you are living in the past of her saying that. Maybe I just interpreted it wrong, I'd say so.
    But either way, I can relate in my own way to this piece, and it hurts, I know.

    Your flow is perfect and your rhymes I love. They aren't forced at all, you do it well. This is a flawless piece; packed with emotion and beautifully penned. Well done sweetie. :]

    This was the only poem out of the three I was able to finish without losing my attention, the flow was much better with this poem, the words were strong when they needed to be and common where they fit much better then any spiced up word could.

    It ended nicely, and had a simple but stronger opening then the first two poems I read, and it also kept the lines short and tight instead of long and untied.

    I'm not quite sure how sepia works?
    but I dont know just my opinion
    the ending was alright
    not your best ending
    but not your worst
    nice job

    Wow...
    This is my favorite from the three of yours pieces I've read today. I am in awe, honestly impressed. Whole poem holds an amount of deep and heartfelt feelings which are expressed in excellent way. This is brilliant, so touching. Every stanza seem flawless to me and I can't find anything to critique. I re-read this three times and tried to find favorite part but every line is breathtaking and whole poem is compact and truly perfect as it is. I think that you did excellent job with rhymes, too, they're not too ordinary and basic and you created flawless flow within each stanza. Once again I wish that this piece was longer because I deeply enjoyed yet I don't think that you should change anything about it.

    Keep writing!
    5/5 from me

    Wow! I enjoyed so much in this piece, it posses very interesting rhymes and priceless originality.
    I love every line, you put so much emotions within words and expressed your self excellently with very creative metaphors.
    First stanza is maybe my favorite one, it is so remarkable and I really admire your ability to write incredible thought like that one and still it was so clear and easy to read. Ending is also effective and you managed to truly touch me with whole poem.
    Fantastically written.

    I'm trying to figure out if the sadness is being felt by one person, or if the pain is felt by someone who's relationship was seemingly stolen from them from the original person.
    I can't tell.
    There was far more obvious rhyming here, and I liked it.
