Happily Never After

by Needer of You   Oct 14, 2007


Knife too dull
Can't cut through
Tried and tried
It's no use

Tied the rope
Stepped on the chair
Carefully placed her head
On the perfumed rope

Kicked away the chair
Closed her eyes
In need of oxygen
Should she call for help?

Unconscious, no pulse
The body so cold
So fragile, no life in it
Rested peacefully on the rope

Her mother came home
Called for her
No one answered
She kicked down the door

To her surprise
Her treasure hanged there
Tears strolled down her cheek
Couldn't believe her eyes

Shouting for her
Got no answer
Hugged her baby
Shrieked in pain

Neighbors poured in
Sharing the pain
She wanted her pearl
To come back to life again

She hugged her tight
A note fell out
Trembling with fear
She opened the letter

Dear mommy of today
You protected me well
Gave me food
As well as shelter

You handed me everything
But forgot one thing
I don't want your money
Nor food nor shelter

All I asked from you
Was a little love
Attention I craved for
Love I'd died for

I know you tried your best
But I tried mine too
But I couldn't ignore
The upcoming emptiness

Sorry I had to go
Go back to where I belong
This place is definitely
Not the place for me

With that the mother sobbed
Shrieked in grief, shouted like crazy
Hugged her daughter tight
So tight she almost came back to life

Her soul saw the commotion
The sorrow and the pain
But not the love
Sadly, quietly she left away

To a place so far
Far, yet new
New and happy
The place she belonged ...

    Aw. This is an extremely emotional piece. I liked the short lines, but the flow was off a lot, in my opinion. It could just be me. Your word choice was a bit too simple for my liking, but it worked. This is not a bad piece of poetry at all, but it definitely could use some work. I'd say take another look at it, and see what else you could do with it.

    4/5

    I like this poem more than your love poem. One reason because it had more of a story into it and was more exciting to read. I found some things that sounded funny, but I'm not the greatest with grammar so I'll just point them out how I think you can change them.

    Knife too dull
    Can't cut through
    "Couldn't cut through"
    Tried and tried
    It's no use
    "It was no use"

    In the beginning of the poem it seems to sound like its happening right now, but when you read on it sounds past tense.

    All I ask from you
    "All I asked from you"
    Was a little love
    Attention I craved for
    Love I'd die for
    "Love I'd died for"
    Once again "ask" and "die" is presence tense and the letter is in past tense.

    But I tried mines too
    "But I tired mine too"
    Mine doesn't need a 's'

    Far yet new
    "Far, yet new"

    Hope some of that helps. Maybe you know how to fix it better than me :P It always seems better to have someone else read over your writing, because they catch things you didn't see. As in my poem >.< Thanks for your help in the comment on my poem. 5/5 Love this poem the most. Keep up the good work =)
