She Fell Apart

Her heart was too fragile,

Always ready to break,

In a world so merciless and cruel,

She fell apart.

She drowned in loss, in hurt and

tears.

In a world friendless and loveless,

She fell apart.

Her face was tear-stained and red,

Her body was hunched over and sad.

In a world that beat her down and hurt her,

She fell apart.

She felt like screaming, like crying aloud.

In a world so hateful and torn,

She fell apart.

I have to give this piece the same critique I gave you for "At That Moment." In telling so much, you've lost the imagery that would make this poem great. Don't tell me she's sad; I want to feel that from the way her body looks and the way her sobs sound. I wanted more description and less statement. The idea, though, is without a doubt tragically beautiful.

Wow sounds like one of my own mental breakdowns. I like the universality of this piece and I love how you use repetition here "She fell apart." The repetition is so effective and gives your poem a real sense of falling apart. I'd like it more if you use metaphors and similes to depict these feelings. Overall, nice work!
