In Hell Again

by Lady Nik   Jan 23, 2010


Tell me I mean something
because right now I don't feel real.
Words tossed around like a ball
if I miss the catch those words kill.

Trying to calm my thoughts and make them steady
I want to live but I don't think I'm ready.

Ask me why I think of him so much
when he has probably forgotten my name.
Why I keep all of our promises fresh
when they all crowd together driving me insane.

Wishing this was all pretend like the beating of my heart
I want to love but love always falls apart.

I've always thought this could last
didn't want to have too much doubt.
But you keep pouring salt in my wounds
as I try to crawl my way out.

Why do my dreams have to end
just so I wake up in hell again.

    I liked the 4/2 scheme and it was an easy read, didn't feel forced or clunky. Nice job :)

    This was a very strong poem. I liked it all the way through.
    The imagary methods you used were classic and known ones. The rhymes made the flow go perfectly.
    The line: "I want to love but love always falls apart." is a very strong one, and now more than ever I feel attached to it.
    You explained your point here very clearly, about a relationship meant to be broekn... So every day is like hell. I don't think there's anything here to fix. Nice work 5/5

    Emotional piece. Very sad and honest. But beautifully written eh. This deserves a 5 all the way around (I dont understand how it has a 4.7 right now to be honest). But, keep up the amazing writes Nik.

    I liked the poem for all it was sad, I think the sad poems are often the best because most of the time they contain the most emotion. I thought the flow in the poem was pretty good, and the rhymes matched up pretty well too, though I wasn't sure about real and kill, but overall it was a good poem. I could relate to a lot of what the poem was saying especially with the second to last stanza, but My favorite lines from the poem were actually these:
    "Wishing this was all pretend like the beating of my heart
    I want to love but love always falls apart."

    I liked them because of how you described the beating of your heart as pretendm, like you're not sure it's there anymore because of all of this and hurting. Overall you did a good job on the poem. 5/5
