    Pretty good, you could describe the butterfly more in the poem.

    But every time I watch you cry
    I'm tearing the wings from a butterfly.

    That line was so sad.. Now who's the sadpoemoholic? Huh? Lmao..

    But this poem was great. I really loved those last two lines. They were great. So was the whole poem. It was great! 5/5

    "I'm in love, from your clothes to your hair."

    "But every time I watch you cry"
    [I counted 9 syllables in each]

    Hmm, this was a pretty good poem. The rhythm was great, but there were times when it felt like you threw in a couple of words to get the syllable count. Especially in this line:

    "shouldn't make you think that I do not care."

    But that's just me. But I really like the style, and the rhymes you had. The title was pretty good too. Overall, awesome stuff.

    What a beautiful poem!!

    * What did you understand?
    You want this person to stay with you because you love her, but if you're hurting her, you don't think it's worth it.
    * How did it make you feel?
    I really imagined the situation, you described, and somehow I related to it.
    * Which part did you like? Why?
    The ending was beautiful, and it was perfect for the poem.

    XoXo

    maybe add a "to" in the first line? hee.
    I really favored this stanza over all the others. It really brought closure and did so beautifully I must add. This poem was very down to earth...I enjoyed that rather than use metaphor to camoflauge the overall feeling, you just came out and said what needed to be said, I found that this added a refreshing element. Good job, overall!

    I think your poetry and opinions are just...really, really...WICKED, and you're kind of like a source of inspiration, because you just know things, and you use your brain, and you're smart.
    Thank you.
