    I really love the simplicity of this. When words flow straight from the heart it is easier for me to feel. I feel the pure emotion coming unmolested by extravagant drama

    Well done

    An unusual format, perhaps a passe' topic, but definitely a lack of metre'/rhythm. When the rhythm is not there what we try to write as poetry becomes prose with rhyme.

    You'll be loved again...just smile and live. life sucks sometimes and i know how it feels to just want to hear those three words again but you know you never will. Don't worry you'll be loved.

    I think that you need to put more emotional words in your poetry. The poem is good, you're even showing good emotion through-out it. But certain parts are lacking or could use better wording for such things being portrayed. I will say that you did an exceptional job executing meanings/flows/and everything overall.

    example(s) on how to make it more emotional/things that need changed:

    "I'm still waiting for something
    Something that would be nice to hear
    Three simple words you could whisper in my ear
    Words that would mean the world
    Coming from your perfect lips
    Not hearing them is the reason that my heart rips"

    [I'm still waiting for something,
    something would be nice to hear.
    Three simple words you could whisper in my ear
    words that would mean the world to me
    coming from your angelic lips
    not hearing them is the reason
    that my heart rips]

    - I added a line but you need to realize that long lines aren't always best with short lines and when you're putting longer lines in a poem you need them to equal out overall. Therefore; short, medium, long, long, medium, short, short. You could take the last two lines and make them into one short line, such as; not hearing them rips my heart. Or something along those lines. I did change out 'perfect' with 'angelic' i thought that it was more emotion and sounded better. And, added on 'the world to me' in order to have a longer line AND give a more concrete meaning.

    I want to hear them just one more time
    But I never will again, I know
    Because you said them so long ago
    You made a promise to me
    That you never kept
    You are gone now
    That is something I must accept

    [I want to hear it just one more time,
    But I never will again
    because you said it so long ago.
    You made me a promise
    that you never meant to keep.
    and you're now gone -
    which is something I'll accept.]

    - Once again you need to have evened lines for the flow (med., short, med., short, med., short, med.). I didn't change much except to help the flow/line lengths in this stanza. 'now gone' replaced 'gone now' because it sounded better to me. 'keep' sounds better than 'kept' along with the entire line there. And, I removed ' i know' because I thought it was too blunt for the poem

    But three simple words is all I want
    Just say them and I'll be gone
    Show me that you did once care
    That you did once love me
    Say "I Love You"
    And I'll be out of you hair

    [Three simple words is all I want,
    say them and I'll be gone.
    Shoe me that you once did care,
    that you once loved me.
    Say "I Love You"
    and I'll be out of YOUR hair]

    - you = your. 'but' didn't sound right for the beginning, along with 'just'. 'did once' is very blunt., so i reworded it.

    *** YOu have a great poem here. I know that I've made a lot of changes. In no way do I expect you to change anything or to even make all these changes. This is YOUR poem and only yours, it' is NOT mine and I know that. I almost feel bad for telling you all this, but a lot of it is just tiny things that will help it. You don't have major problems, just a bunch of tiny ones.

    Emotional, Honest and Beutiful
    I really enjoyed reading this
    To change the poem would be to take away from it in my opinion

    Excellent

    Nicely done, although there were a few things that got on my nerves.

    1. "gorgeous lips" in the first stanza is a very physical aspect, while the general atmosphere of the poem is more abstract, as in, everything is going on in your mind, rather than in the physical world. Thus, instead of trying to describe the lips physically, it ought to be more conceptual -- such as gentle, silent, parted, etc.

    2. "That is something I must accept" I didn't like this, because it wasn't the most poetic phrase in the world, but if you feel that it's right, don't change it. I understand what it's like to go through an emotional change through the writing of a poem; please don't change what you've once felt.

    3. "And I'll be out of your hair" Please don't end a poem with this line. It sound very immature, and also as if you're brushing the subject aside after writing a whole poem on it.

    Otherwise, nice piece! Keep writing!
