Broken

You are the one that keeps me here.
I need you to know that I love you.
Your are the one with the words I need to hear.
I need you to know what we have misconstrue.
We have spent our hole lives without a clue.

And I don't think its right,
That we should be left to be lonely.
I don't want to fight.
I just want you to hold me.

When angels cry,
Is when I need you the most.
When we leave this place to fly,
Just me and you with our hearts beating so close.

Because I'm broken,
When I can't feel you beside me.
Because I'm broken,
When you bring me to my knees.
Because I'm broken,
When we disagree.

Our wounds can't heal,
Tell we forgive.
Why does it feel so real,
The way that we try to live.

Forget about the past.
You are beauty at its best.
We are the ones who will last,
Our hearts put to the final test.

Because I'm broken,
When I can't feel you beside me.
Because I'm broken,
When you bring me to my knees.
Because I'm broken,
When we disagree.

    OK, we'll start with the technical aspects:

    There is a spelling mistake in the last line of the first stanza. Hole should read whole.

    The form feels a little disjointed. The repition of the Broken chorus makes the poem feel like a song, which is fine, but the rest of the poem does not follow a set meter to unify that feeling.

    A poet often says more important things with less words. Read over this piece and highlight the areas that fill out the poem and seem less important. Read it again without the highlighted sections and see if the overall message you are showing the reader is the same. If it is you have made the poem better.

    I like the sentiment of this piece. I think it could be made better by having an oxymoronic tilt to make it stand out over and and above most of the other love poems on the site, but it's a fair poem nonetheless and it is clear that you have thought about what you wanted to say.

    Keep it up.

    This is a really good poem. It sounds a lot like some of my work, because it talks about love, but, just like in this poem, love isn't always as happy as it seems.
