I loved you this much Part 1

by eric   May 16, 2006


Im going to get straight to the point
and not waste your time
telling you a story of a girl
who never left my mind

she was the girl
who put scars on my arm
the girl who promised me...
promised me no harm

I was only seventeen
and she promised me her heart
I knew I shouldn't have believed her
and here I am torn apart

all the notes she wrote me
I torn up shred by shred
I would have done anything
to get this girl out of my head

the memories of her are like a disease
that would never leave
held on so tight
i couldn't breathe

she broke my heart
and kicked it across the floor
told me she hated me
and didnt want to see me anymore

her heart must be made of metal
all the flowers she gave back to me
I've picked every petal

my heart is broken cant she see?
she cant possibly have any feelings
she doesnt know what she means to me

i just wish i could
get her out of my head
im sick off love
i cant even get out of bed

remembering back
to the first day we met
finding out later on
my love was all a bet

she bet her friends
she could make me fall
make me love her
and then never call

well in a way
i guess she was right
after we met
i fell in love that night

from that moment on
there was no way out
i fell in love with her
without a doubt

at school, as i walk by
i can hear her friends laugh
each and everytime
my heart splits in half

after that day
and time past by
each and every night
i'd try not to cry

looking up at the stars
each one reminding me of you
whether it being a word
or something crazy you would do

but i guess im the one to blame
why would a girl like you fall for me
it had to have been a game
people like us arn't meant to be

i had a box
it was adressed to you
notes, letters
pictures i drew

i put it on your doorstep
but i didnt stay
i turned around
and walked away

i've cried for 3 months straight
but not one tear fell
this girl has taken my heart
and dragged it straight through hell

i walked to the bridge
got on the ledge
i was weak to my knees
being right on the edge

sick to my stomach
i tooked a leap
into the water
only 4 feet deep

the reason for leaving
over a girl
sick of greiving
sick of this world

in my box was suicide notes
of better wishes
and greater hopes...

    Its a really nice poem. It must have been good because i read it all. Its long but really great. each stanza flowed so beutaifully into one another. Although it sounds really nice i have a few tips to make it flow better. In your third paragraph, last line i think it would sound better as "and now i'm torn apart". It makes it shorter so it flows better. And one paragraph later, last line i think that "to get her out of my head" flows a bit better because its shorter again. And in your fifth paragraph you probobly accidentaly rhymed disease, breathe and leave. It sounds kinda odd. I think that it would sound better if you shortened your first line, and came up with an alternative word for desease. Maybe something like
    "These memories plague my mind"
    "They refuse to leave"
    Then you may have to do a bit of work on the later lines but the way that i recommend would again shorten it and make it flow better. Your 8th and 9th paragraphs are 3 lines and it totaly throws your poem off. You should either get rid of them, or try and find a way to make them 4 lines and retain the same rhyme scheme as the rest of your poem. Other than that your poem seems really good. The main problem i found in your poem was that some of your lines were too long and it threw off the rythm of the poem. And other than the last paragraph you should try to stick with the same format of paragraph. Switching between rhyme schemes can be risky and it could break your poem apart. When you started shortening them it was really well done and it flowed really well. Well lets get away from the structure now. Your poem is very touching. I loved it. Its really sad and ya, love hurts. When my first (and only) girlfriend broke up with me, i went insane. if your still feeling down then don't worry about it. It will all be alright. Great poem. well written but it could be improved just a little bit. If you would like to talk a bit more than either e-mail me or we could chat over MSN. Great poem.
