    Great twist at the end, the image of the broken mirror, and the person staring into it, seeing not the broken mirror but themselves . . broken. Wow!

    I tried to stay strong
    When you left me all alone
    I soon realized I was weak
    But you knew that all along

    I think this stanza would be better if you swopped the first two lines

    When you left me all alone
    I tried to stay strong
    I soon realized I was weak
    But you knew that all along

    The rhyme scheme would also work better then.

    Peace. [Sole]

    I liked the ending it was powerful and touching.

    You had a good flow of rhymes apart from the first and fifth stanzas that weren't "real" rhymes.

    Last line of the sixth stanza should be "cause of it..."

    You had some very emotional lines in there, and as I've previously said you gave the poem a very strong ending.

    I enjoyed the read.

    The very last line was just out of this world. Every word heightened the sadness in this poem...and when it came down to it being about you that really teaked at my heartstrings....if a poem can do all this...it has to be good....

    I really liked this poem. You did a great job. I really liked the ending, mostly the last two lines... they had a really big impact along with the whole poem. Sort of relateable for me.

    I felt like you used the me/be rhyme too many times. If you only used it twice - at the start and end of the poem - then you could consider that part of the conclusion, but you used it three times. I felt like this poem was similar to some other poems of its type in that most of the poem was a sort of vague description of someone doing you wrong. There aren't really any specifics. I thought the imagery and symbolism of the broken mirror vs. the broken you was pretty well done.

    Very nice. A lot of emotion and seems like a lot of time has been put into this.

    I liked the last stanza alot. Great way to end it.

    "Letting myself fall
    Into a flood of tears"
    I loved that, it gave me the image of the character falling into a hole...and falling into their own sorrow, as if that created the hole in the 1st place
    This was extrememly well written, and a cut aboce the other poems of this genre I have read for a while
    The twist at the end was completely unexpected and I just loved it
    Great stuff...keep writing :D

    Well, you requested that this be the one I vote on. I think the most important advice I could give you on this one is to change the format. Since the lines are so short, and the format is only A,B,A,C you should peice the lines together and make less stanzas resulting in an A,A,B,B format. The poem itself was good, but try to keep the syllable count for each line fairly close. The beginning lines, and the ending lines have a different syllable count. I don't want to bring you down, I just want to help you get better. Thank you for your vote and your comment. It's very appreciated. Thank you.
