Comments : Destined to Fall Apart

  • 18 years ago

    by Idiosyncratic

    I don't think the stars
    Have ever shined so bright
    As that one night with you
    That seems so long ago

    The flow in this stanza is perfect-- no need to change it! I love the second line, very creative.

    We were so in love
    Yet broken on the inside
    Who would have thought
    We'd end up falling apart

    For this stanza you might consider taking away the words 'on the' from the second line. It might improve the flow. Also, you could take out 'end up' from the last line and change 'falling' to 'fall'.

    I remember like it was yesterday
    It was just me and you
    My heart beat my love for you
    But my mind kept telling me 'no'

    The two 'yous' seem quite repetitive, but you could switch around 'me' and 'you' in the second line to fix that. The flow in this stanza is perfect.

    I never wanted to fall in love
    I didn't want to ever care
    But everything changed that night
    That our love was shared

    This stanza confuses me-- I think you could improve the clarity by moving 'ever' in the second line between 'don't' and 'want'. Also, I'm not sure if this is what you wanted to say, but you could add 'night' after the word 'that in the last line.

    But now that night is just a memory
    Clouded by hate and deceit
    Watching the stars fade away
    And admitting our love's defeat

    Perfect! My favorite stanza!

    It was fate that brought us together
    Yet we were destined to fall apart
    But I'll always look to that night
    And know you still have my heart

    Hmm.. I don't want to change too much when I review this, but I think you could change 'still have' to 'kept' and improve the flow a bit. Other than that, this is also a good stanza.

    Anyways, I hope I haven't offended you with all this, just trying to help. It really is a good poem, and the advice I've said shouldn't change the meaning at all, just improve the flow a bit. Nice job!

    Heeeello =)
    I thought this was a good poem all in all.
    But my favourite part had to be
    [But now that night is just a memory
    Clouded by hate and deceit
    Watching the stars fade away
    And admitting our love's defeat] --Wowee.

    That really made the poem for me!
    The flow was off at places but still a good poem. I liked how you ended it. Sad but true. Well dones. =)
