Comments : Torn Apart

    by Inside the Liar

    Hello.
    I gave you my heart
    You gave it back
    All torn up
    And ripped to shreds
    ^^
    I liked this stanza. I thought it was a nice opening.

    You didn't love me
    I never knew
    Its torn and broken
    Because of you.
    ^^
    Should be "it's" not its. The form you used indicates possession.

    The way things are
    The way things were
    The difference then
    We were only friends.
    ^^
    The rest of your poem seems to be using a rhyme scheme. This doesn't work there. This stanza doesn't rhyme.

    The way you turned my world around
    Has left me so confused.
    Loving you has left
    Me torn in two.
    ^^
    Just as an opinion, I think that 'me' should be the last word in the third line instead of the first word in the fourth line.

    I'm sure you've seen the tears
    Trekking down my face.
    Words i couldn't say
    Not even to your face.
    ^^
    "Trekking" means: journey on foot, especially in the mountains. I don't think this is the word you meant to use here.

    To see you now
    Its hard on me
    Letting you go
    Is not easy.
    ^^
    Once again, the "its" should be a contraction.

    The Tears I shed
    The Love i Lost
    What The Hell Happened
    To Us!
    ^^
    I don't like the way the last lines here fit together. This stanza also doesn't rhyme.

    The way I feel
    Will it be returned?
    Have you lead me on
    From start till end?
    ^^
    Doesn't rhyme. Other than that , I like this stanza.

    The smile you gave me
    That weakened my knees
    It's so hard to believe
    That we weren't meant to be.
    ^^
    Nicely written.

    The feelings come,
    The feelings go
    As days go by I
    loose control.
    ^^
    Ibid.

    Youd bee the One
    My first real love
    Its a dream I know
    Should I just give up?
    ^^
    "Youd" should be "you'd." "Bee" should be "be." "Its" should be "it's."

    I'm sorry that I love you
    Im sorry that I care
    But even being your friend
    I something i can't bare.
    ^^
    "Im" should be "I'm." The last line doesn't make sense. I think you meant to put 'is' where "I" is.

    I liked the basis of this poem. There were a lot of errors, but I think it could be really good if you fixed the problems.

    Thanks for your comment on "Just Like That."
