    I like the { } lines . I think its different .
    However .
    It's hurting so much as this realization slowly sinks into my mind
    As memories flash through my head, destroying my entire soul
    And so many friends have tried to be strong for me, to be there
    They just don't realize that I'll never be able to be consoled

    Because without your love, I'm slowly dying on the inside
    It's knowing I had you and screwed it up that's tearing me apart
    Haven't spoken to anyone in days, just sat still silently crying
    Wishing I could change things, wishing that you didn't depart

    The rhymes in these two stanzas don't really go . Soul and consouled don't rhyme .. And wierdly enough they sound too much alike . I just contradicted myself but i hope you understand .
    and apart and depart sound too much alike .. Theres better rhymes . It threw me off .

    Otherwise , really good flow , lots of big words (Y) & good rhyming for the rest of the poem . still 5/5

    Hmm, with sentences you almost have to breack them down to make the flow work. Maybe try using some punctuation to help with this. It would make it easier to read.
    I see this mostly in the 2nd stanza. (This is just a suggestion)
    I really liked this poem, it is kind of sad. I'm sure that there are people who could relate. I gave it a 5/5

    This was a very good free verse. I enjoyed the read. It was refreshing to see it from all the other rythmeing poems.

    There are some places that i think need to be improved. The reader is left to wonder if the person is sitting alone in their house, in the rain, in a tree. I would have personally like to seen a setting.

    Grey stormy weather heading this way now matches how I feel inside

    I also would have left the "How I feel inside" I think that is convayed when you say about the storm.

    I think that the way you gap this is really good. {And deep down I know that wont happen...goodbye.} I'm not struck on the brackets around it, but hey, I just like the fact that it's there.

    This is a really good poem and I enjoyed the read. I hope you put the advice to good use.

    5/5

    I really liked this. I felt like crying at the end because I really felt the poem. I wish ther ewas more to it because I liked it so much. But you did such a wonderful job!

    You're a really dramatic writer. Your style is all strong words and harsh sounds, but sometimes in all that I lose your real meaning. Is there some kind of metaphor in there, some deeper something? It's like this vast ocean of letters and it might be hard for your readers to always stay afloat.
