Empty Pessimistic Heart.

by Courageous Dreamer   Oct 4, 2008


Heart aches as it is permenatly broken
desperatly searching for the pieces that have been lost,
but they are so scattered, that they are impossible to find.
Nothing will be able to put my heart back together again.

I loved with a full optimistic heart that was always followed
when I was in need of advice or didn't know where to go.
Now all that remains is a empty pessimistic heart
that has yet to see the beautiful light instead of darkness.

Struggling to move on from the past and look forward to the future,
increases the pain as the memories float around in her mind.
She's lost most trust to let someone hold her fraigle forlorn heart,
for it can't risk being broken a third time, if it breaks it will die.

This pessimistic heart wishes things could have happened differently,
yet life threw it obstacles that it was unable to control in the end.
It continued to fall for a beautiful soul that turned out to be something-
she never expected, leading to the crashing of her once optimistic heart.

    The real thing that bothered me, was how many times you said "heart" in the piece. I think I saw it six times? I guess you can't really do anything about it, but I hope you'll try and be more ... metaphorical.

    When you start out talking about how the heart's been broken into so many pieces, they're impossible to bring back together again--you've created a deadening image of sadness, but when you keep repeating "[adjective] heart," it feels like you're putting words instead of pictures in my mind.

    but they are so scattered, that they are impossible to find.
    `Change up that line a little? It bothered me that you repeated "they" although I can see how that can't be helped. I really liked the stanza, it was just the repeat that poked at my OCD. Maybe... "but when so scattered, they're impossible to find" or something of the like. *shrugs.

    I loved with a full optimistic heart that was always followed
    when I was in need of advice or didn't know where to go.
    `I really liked this. Though I don't think this is what you meant by it, when it says "always followed" I saw a beautiful, stunning person with a big heart and a trail of people stalking after them because they're just so ... content. And it's a sweet message--that life will treat you how you treat it. :)

    Third stanza: You switch to "she" when you started with "I" in stanza two. This really bugged me... I feel like you should stick with one instead of switching--the "she" is definitely more effective in my eyes. It's as if you're narrating your whole life as a third person and trying to watch yourself and your mistakes, and you're just replaying through everything like an outer body experience after heart break.

    It continued to fall for a beautiful soul that turned out to be something-
    she never expected, leading to the crashing of her once optimistic heart.
    `Beautiful ending lines. The imagery and emotion I got from these packed a punch--more than the rest of your piece did, and that's amazing. Intentional or not, I love how you break the sentence at "a beautiful soul that turned out to be something" because usually, sad poems about this topic make the ex-lover or lost lover to be "nothing" or something horrible, but you shined a new light.

    I think it could start out slightly better at just some points, but you end strong and I think you did a great job :]

    This poem was good. I feel as though it has potential to be much better if you were to go back and edit one of these days, but it's still good. I noticed a small typo:

    "Heart aches as it is permenatly broken"

    ~ "permenatly" should be "permanently".

    Your word choice is great, but to be honest, I really don't feel much emotion coming from your words, like I normally do. =/

    Four out of five. [4/5]
