Broken Dreams
May 18, 2009
Something she can’t handle
What you say to her, she takes to heart
She could be burning bright, like your candle
But instead, you choose to part
Do you know what you did to her?
She doesn’t show her emotion
All she does is go home, cry, and listen to her cat purr
It’s like a curse, like a potion
Sometimes she says she is done
Take a walk in her shoes
Was it fun?
She feels like she wants to blow a fuse
Why did you have to part?
You ripped out her heart

Hey I was browsing Teen Ink and came across your poem. This is a very strong piece. I like it! One suggestion, the phrase "and listen to her cat purr" kind of breaks the rhythm. It draws the reader's focus to a cat, instead of the crying girl. In my opinion, that is. You may want to take it out. But all in all, I think this is a very well done poem!!!
