I, lied

by Dark Savior   Jun 21, 2009


I asked her are you married
you were the ones who lied
when the day I found out I cried

I'm sure you had a reason, for the lie
I heard your husband at my door
he doesn't have a wife, not anymore

If only you had told the truth
then we wouldn't have this open booth
all the people saying nice things

If only I'd looked and seen he rings
Why I now know who I am deep inside
because on that night, I as well lied

    I find the narrative here to be clumsy, forced and too deliberate to sound poetic.

    'I asked her are you married
    you were the ones who lied
    when the day I found out I cried'

    You might benefit from punctuation here, but the meaning would still be off with it anyway. The last line is worded wrong, if you read a sentence like, it's grammatically incorrect. Also you address 'I asked 'her'' then revert to a plural and another type of addressal of 'you'.

    Your rhyme disturbs this piece a lot, 'I as well lied' being a forced example. You also deliver this far too plainly, you repeat 'lie' too much (we get it) you don't need to spoonfeed us.

    'this open booth'

    is telling, what open booth? Show the reader.

    Also if you're planning on a rhyme scheme, make it consistent, what we have here is random rhyme and most (if not all) of it is forced and unnatural.

    You can probably do a lot better than this. The deliveration, meaning and phrasing is off.

    'I asked here you married'
    `I have no idea what you are saying? Did you mean to say.. 'I asked her, "are you married?" - Not a good way to start a poem with confusion :x

    Capitolize all i's.. not just a random few.

    This poem was full of emotion and feeling but other than that.. I didnt think it was your best write.. I think theres some fixing up you can do with this one. It wasnt exactly a crystal clear poem to me. But good attempt. (: Sorry if this comes across as a harsh comment just trying to give you honest feedback.
