    It's little repetitive... but I liked the emotions. Nice write.

    I definitely understand and relate to the meaning behind this poem. I enjoyed the structure, use of language and how it repeats, giving it a good flow, and it really drills the idea of whats happening in. 5/5

    A lot of repetition, but it turned out okay I guess. I can't answer your question though, sorry. Interesting idea.

    Maybe it's that everyone feels like this at some point, but there are so many poems just like this. Still, your effort is appreciated. :)

    BTW, thanks for your comment.
    It was about my first wake, and really seeing death for the first time, since you didn't get it.

    This is a good poem. There were a few errors, so make sure to look over your work before you submit it.

    This is such a simple poem... but it was written from the heart.. if only you described how u feel more, it'd be such a heartfelt poem..
    i hav a suggestion..
    "Heartbreaking... this is just so hard for me;"
    make it like this so it'll be emotional as readers read it..
    there's some grammar mistakes.. i don't kno if i shud point that out.. but yea u shud proof read ur work..

    Good poem. I liked it overall but it could have held more emotion. The flow was good. And the concept was decent. Good write!

    I don't know about this one.. It seems like there are too many questions being asked. Granted they are all pretty much the same question, but I didn't like reading it over and over again.

    "Why cant we have each other?
    If we both beat the same feelings,
    Can somebody tell me the reasons why?"

    ^I don't like the first and second lines there because it's like your asking the same question in one stanza. It wouldn't be all that problematic if the stanza were longer, but a stanza made of three lines that asks the same question in two lines seems to be lacking, especially for a first stanza.

    "If we both beat the same feelings,"

    ^I didn't like the word 'beat' in there. Maybe trading it for a different word would sound better, like 'share' or something.

    "Why cant we be? If we misses each other,"

    ^'Misses' should be changed to 'miss'.

    The topic wasn't anything new, but you made a good effort. I hope my comment was not offensive in any way.

    My honest critique: 3/5

    If we misses each other,

    ^Misses should be miss

    Okay, well first of all you repeated
    yourself way too many times.. That
    really kinda ruins the poem. The flow
    was shaky and had problems getting
    the worlds out at times becuase it didn't
    match. Quite a bit of mistakes this poem
    could really use some work. And usually
    if you were going to write a clice there could
    have been some originality. but keep up
    the good work i am familiar with your
    work and i know you could do better because
    I happen to be a fan of your work. Well
    try again. Sorry i don't mean to be mean but
    just trying to help you out that's all don't take
    it personally.

    I think most people already pointed out the few mistakes that I saw so I don't need to bring those up again. I thought the poem was written well with the exception of those couple spelling mistakes which can easily be fixed. I can relate to the love and emotion in the poem and I ask myself the same questions sometimes...Excellent job 5/5 GG23

    I wouldn't change a thing other than any spelling or grammar, if it's how you feel that's all that's important. The poem speaks to me as the same question I and millions of others throughout time have asked. Someone is always left asking why in these type of breakups.

    I like this poem, I can really relate! I like the repition and the flow, the word choice could improve a little, but otherwise i think it's really great. I really really like the 3rd stanza, if you add a coma after Heartbreaking or took "this" out from after Heartbreaking, it would be perfect. Wonderful job! 5/5
