&quot;You don&#039;t always get the waterfall short-cut in Mario-Kart. That&#039;s life.&quot;-I.P.<br /> <br /> &quot;Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love.&quot; -Hamlet


A secret learned
A tear fallen
My heart weeps
Your friendship is stolen
Alone, you go
To find a new life
All alone, and hurt
Feeling of the sharp knife,
The images and sounds
Never truly fades.
I can only imagine
The horrid chapter in your book’s page.
I want to take it all away;
The pain, the memories, the life you must now live in.
Eyes flat, soul abducted,
Body torn, unwillingly given.
I wish I could help, but there’s no turning back now.
You are leaving, I wish I could stop you
And help you fight the foul
Creature who has touched your
Beauty, your innocence.
Took what was not his
And left hate and fear in his absence.
So you go, far, far away
And I may never see you again.
But I want you to know
You have my love, my help, my heart, my friend,
Whenever you may need me.

Well it doesn't really need to be changed. Maybe edit it? Anyways. Would mind checking out my poetry? I'd greatly appreciate.

Maybe spoon fed isn't the right term. Predictable is more appropriate. Look at the fourth line of the first stanza. "Your friendship is stolen". Right there and then I knew the whole poem. The situation and the feeling. I read a lot of Robert Frost. And I usually need to read his poems 5-8 times before I even get the bare knowledge of what he was trying to express. With "Boston", I had already figured the theme and meaning. Maybe I wasn't use to this sort of 'free-verse'. Therefor it felt 'spoon fed'. This is my reasoning.

What do you mean by 'spoon fed'?

As always the rhyming is expressive. However in my honest opinion I always feel like you're sort of spoon feeding the poem. I guess it's all about preference here. But at the end of the poem I feel as if I figured the ending in the middle. It's honest criticism, but I'm not saying it's bad.

Wow, thank you. Thats a huge compliment. I wrote this to help me sleep, because that night my friend told me she had been raped, and was moving to Boston forever. It's from my point of view of the situation.

i must say, you are one of the best free-verse poets on this sight. you say so much without a distinct rhyme pattern, i wish i had that talent. 5/5 :)
