Close the Door.

by Joanna Misponas   Nov 16, 2008


Cant take these tears anymore
so now it's time for me to close the door
cant see that sparkle in your eyes
all i see is broken promises and lies

You gave my heart a tore
and now it's something i adore
thought you were an angel, but your a devil in disguise
i gave you more than enough, but don't think you realize

So here i am laying down flat on the floor
trying to here something else, cause your lies are a bore
and saying sorry wont make you wise
nor will your smile, cause it just gives me tears to cry

I gave you love and so much more
and got pretend in return
guilt kicks in when I'm trying to say my goodbyes
but i hope i made you realize

I cant take these tears anymore
and it's time for me to close the door.

    I'd definitely say that this poem is good. I think it needs work, more cosmetic work than really emotion. When I say cosmetic, I mean that some parts the flow seems off and the wording just needs rearranged. I'm all for no punctuation and capital letters at times, but I don't think this poem is a time for that. So, that's surely got to be taken up a level. I hope it's not too harsh, because you do have a great poem. And, I believe that every poem needs some sort of change for every different individual. Therefore, the changes I make are to my interest, not really yours/all readers interest. If you have questions or if what I've done confuses you in anyway just let me know. And, once again I don't want to hurt your feelings, so many people take my changes to offense and that's not how I mean it to be at all. You've a wonderful poem here and with just a few MINOR changes it can be absolutely amazing.

    YOUR FIRST STANZA:
    Cant take these tears anymore
    so now it's time for me to close the door
    cant see that sparkle in your eyes
    all i see is broken promises and lies

    MY CHANGE:
    [ I can't take these tears anymore.
    So, now it's time to close the door.
    I can't see the sparkle in your eyes,
    all I see are broken promises and lies]

    Comments: Notice that I didn't hardly change anything. And, it was ALL cosmetic. Just a few words added and taken out to make it flow better. Your way is just fine, though. The other way makes more sense to me [and probably a lot of readers].

    YOUR SECOND STANZA:
    You gave my heart a tore
    and now it's something i adore
    thought you were an angel, but your a devil in disguise
    i gave you more than enough, but don't think you realize

    MY CHANGE:
    [I thought you were an angel,
    but you're a devil in disguise.
    I gave you more than enough,
    but I don't think you realize.]

    Comments: I did take out the first two lines, which I hated doing. I think that they're good lines and have a lot of meaning. But, there was such a difference in the whole wording that it didn't sound right. If you wanted to go to another level with the poem though, and have each stanza with a different amount of lines you could easily work those two lines in the first two as " You gave my heart a tore. And now it's something I adore. ...[rest of the stanza]"

    YOUR THIRD STANZA:
    So here i am laying down flat on the floor
    trying to here something else, cause your lies are a bore
    and saying sorry wont make you wise
    nor will your smile, cause it just gives me tears to cry

    MY CHANGE:
    [So here I am, laying flat on the floor.
    Trying to hear something else; your lies are a bore.
    And, saying sorry won't make you wise,
    nor will your smile - it just gives me tears to cry.]

    Comment: This is probably my least favorite stanza. Because the flow doesn't go too well no matter how you do it. I actually think it's lacking a bit of emotion. But, since the rest of the poem is great then this is fine. And, works okay with the poem.

    YOUR FOURTH STANZA:
    I gave you love and so much more
    and got pretend in return
    guilt kicks in when I'm trying to say my goodbyes
    but i hope i made you realize

    MY CHANGE:
    [I gave you love and so much more
    And, just got pretend in return.
    Guilt kicks in when I say good-byes...
    But, I hope that I made you realize-]

    Comment: I really like this stanza, and as you can see hardly any changes were made.

    YOUR LAST STANZA:
    I cant take these tears anymore
    and it's time for me to close the door.

    MY CHANGE:
    [ I can't take these tears anymore,
    So, now it's time to close the door]

    Comment: This last stanza works fine your way. The only reason I 'changed' it was so that it went with the first stanza. But, it works fine either way. And sounds okay either way.
