Comments : Much Too Late

  • Nice poem. has a lot of twists in it which keeps it interesting..i think it might flow a little better if you seperate it into two stanzas...
    "tell me lies and call me names"
    first stanza above and then start your second at
    "But there's so much a girl can take"
    other than that your poem has a nice flow to it.

    :O I love this. It's bittersweet and it's a 'in your face' kind of poem. You made the rhyme scheme work really well and the emotions blew my mind. Definitely my favorite poem of yours. (: Overall: 5/5

    Take care,
    Stephanie

    That was very good! though some areas of the poem seemed a little choppy. I know that can be challenging at times, so I hope that I am not too critical when I say that.
    I did however enjoy reading it. ;)

    "Tell me lies and call me names
    When you need I'm here to blame"

    ^^I love this, such a powerful and strong opening that I'm instantly hooked and can't wait to get into the reast of the poem.

    "Ignore me during my times of need
    Live your life the way you please
    Drink until you cannot stand
    Refuse to let me hold your hand
    When I need you, don't be there
    Just act as if you do not care"

    ^^ I don't even know what to say...I can relate so much to this at the moment...did you get inside my head? :D I'm seriously speechless with this part.

    "Make those promises you cannot keep
    Hide those secrets that haunt my sleep
    Sneak around and "forget" to call
    Cut me down and watch me fall
    Make us seem like a big mistake
    But there's only so much a girl can take"

    ^^ I love this part, simply because up until now it's all about loss, lies, games etc..but here you're showing that you're stronger, that you don't need him.

    "You never thought I was good enough
    You sure miss me now; But that's just tough
    Before you did the things above
    Should've known your life without my love
    Now you'll spend your life trying to find
    Everything that you've left behind
    For once boy, you'll cry real tears
    While you reminisce on the past two years"

    Again I love this, because it's like saying you had your chance and you missed it, and I'm moving onto better things.

    "But it's much too late to make things okay
    Because it's in his arms I want to stay <3 "

    ^^ Such a beautiful closing. The fact that you've moved on, that you're over the pain, that you've found someone better. It shows courage and hope whereas the first part showed sadness and loss, and the transistion is powerful and makes for a powerful ending.

    I love this piece. This is definitely in my favourites.

    It was an excellent poem. But I think it would be better if you put it into stanzas. Well, maybe its just me but I don't like 1 stanza poems.

    Suggestion:
    Because it's in his arms I want to stay
    ^ Put this in it's own stanza. In my opinion it adds impact to the readers.

    Anyway I think it flowed very well. I'm guessing that you wrote this with your heart. Good job. I love poems that are written from the heart. Because in my opinion (poems that are written from the heart are always the best.)

    I liked this. It reminds me of some of my older work. Very simple, but the emotions are still powerful and clear. I liked the easy flow of things, makes it easier to read and relate to. You have a gift for reading sweet poems like this. Keep it up. Shanik
