    Since you have not mentioned his name i won't either but if its who i think it is, i just know this poem will make him feel so happy.
    The last thing he would ever want to do is hurt anyone , especialy you.
    Thank you so much Temps for being there for our friend when he needed you the most.
    I really don't know you all that well but you must be a very special person, even more so after reading this poem .
    Well done on an excellent poem

    Yaay a love poem! Cute title. :]

    1st Stanza.
    If you cant get someone out of your heart, then they are supposed to be there. You expressed that beautifully here hun. I love the words you used because they didnt overpower the poem and didnt fill forced. It was a great opening stanza and it captured my attention.

    "They never once vanished from my soul, I held them firmly."
    ^Your use of "vanished" here was great! It fit what you wanted to say perfectly. Very well written.

    2nd Stanza.
    I loved how you expressed your true feelings here and how when that person was missing from your life, it felt as if everything was wrong and nothing made sense. Now thats love. It feels as if without that love, you cannot survive and you described this nicely.

    "causing the level of missing you to reach a high extreme"
    ^I loved how this was worded and flowed off my tongue with such ease. Well done!

    3rd Stanza.
    My fave stanza! You desribed a broken heart so wonderfully that I could just feel the utter pain you were expressing. Great use of imagry and diction. You got what you wanted to say across flawlessly.

    "Lying on that frigid floor with a shattered heart oozing with blood"
    ^Flawless!

    4th Stanza.
    Hmm I'm not sure about this one. I do think you repeated yourself a but too much with the word "crater" and "depression" It felt a bit rushed and I do think you could have ended it better to truly put a smile on my face. I'm happy for you because I know the story personally but this stanza wouldnt make me happy, just be like oh okay theyre together in the end. You guys went through so much to be where you are now, make me feel that without knowing the whole story.

    Although this isnt one of your best, its still a wonderful poem. You got what you wanted to say across nicely and overall it was a great love poem.

    *5/5* :]

    How nice to see you write a happy poem, Temps. Not too long ago I commented to such a sad poem by you. I am happy for you that you and your boyfriend were able to patch things up again.

    Much love,

    5/5 Ingrid

    The flow and word usage were decent in this poem. The concept was a little cliche, but you've written on it beautifully! I really did enjoy reading this poem.

    I felt like a crater was engraved into my heart, you were missing.
    Thoughts agitating throughout my mind, became a tangled disaster.
    ^^ these were definitely my favorite lines... they showed so much emotion! Very nice...

    5/5 for sure

    "The first time we departed my heart was ripped to shreds,"
    'The' isn't really the best word to start of a poem.
    Departed should be parted.
    Instead of saying "my heart was riped to shreads" how about "I was riped into shreads"? It's a little more metaphoric and a little less cliche. Something about talking about hearts in that manner annoys me.

    "sincere feelings for you still lingered although you were gone."
    Perhaps feelings should be changed to thoughts? This line could be swapped a bit to make it shorter and better the flow, for example "Although sincere thoughts of you still lingered". Says the same thing, you just didn't repeat the leaving part once more.

    Throughout the rest of this poem there's too many filler words, you repeat things that you've mentioned previously in the poem too much.
    There's nothing overly impressive about this, the general idea is written about a lot. The way you wrote it is good, however. Your vocabulary was better than usual but there's room for improvment, perhaps if you move toward the metpahors a little more.
    Don't worry if what you're writing doesn't make complete sense to the reader, poetry is about leaving some things up to the reader to interpret and decide.

    Although, this was still fairly decent, if you work on the filler words it'll help the flow and make the poem easier to read. You've got some tallent, keep writing.
    4/5

    *By a better vocabulary than usual I mean what you usually find on this site.
    Sorry for being vague
