The Part Where I Cry

by Lori   Apr 5, 2009


This isn't the part where I cry
This is the part where I smile
Thinking of your voice
My heart racing miles

Then, I will laugh
At your witty voice
When I need some cheering up
Humor is your choice

Next, I will think
Of how it was only you
You knew what was up
No one else had a clue

The next part of this
Is the part where I hurt
No more love from you
Here's where feelings divert

This isn't the part where I cry
This is the part where I fall
Those were just words to you
I was just a game, through it all

With all this emotion
You've seen my cycle running dry
But, the part I never let you see
Is the part where I cry

    Amazing poem! What really did it for me was the emotion you put into. The flow was on point and the rhyme scheme was perfect. One suggestion:

    "This isn't the part where I cry
    This is the part where I fall
    Those were just words to you
    I was just a game, through it all"
    ^^i would lose the comma. when you use it in a sentence, it's supposed to create a pause. but with this format, i think it would be a better flow without it. but it's just a suggestion.

    Overall, you did a great job with this one. 5/5

    Wow girly, this was a very powerful and moving piece!!!! at first when i was reading i was wondering why this was under the genre "sad" but what made this poem so effective is how it opens up all happy and positive but slowly slips into the mundane pain, the one people never see because its the pain you show when you're alone, the pain that no one else knows even exists in you because you're so busy putting up a strong front when in the mean time on the inside you're feeling absolutely heart breaking.

    you're seriusly such a talented young lady and really have the potential to go far!!!! keep up the good work and I'll keep reading. wish i could give you more than 5.
