the greatest thing you&#039;ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return - Moulin Rouge<br /> <br /> we accept the love we think we deserve - the perks of being a wallflower


Eyes too dry
For tears to roll down my face
Stain my cheeks
As the bitter tears should leave my eyes
And my heart
But I’ve been hurt time
And time again
For the same stupid reasons
(When will I ever learn?)
My hopes have been crushed too many times
I should really learn not to care
But I’m not a heartless person
Though I’m not all human anymore either
I’ve taught myself a neat little trick
I’ve taught myself not to cry
I won’t allow it
That’s why my eyes are too dry
For tears to race down my face
Stain my cheeks as the bitter cold tears should escape my eyes
And my heart

I think this is a great poem, but as advice for your next poems I feel they should lead somewhere. This is just a thought.

I really think this poem is great, but next time either rhyme or free verse it, but don't do both because it gets confusing. Otherwise very good

I like this, but I can't say I'm much of a fan of the repition in the last 4 lines. I think the poem would be stronger if you maybe just took them out, or somehow changed the end. Otherwise, very good!

If you get the chance, please check out my work. I'd appreciate any comments you have!
