Poetry Critical 2.0

Hey guys, Donald here.

In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.

But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

Broken Love
Candy_Girl

Tell me babe
 1
What you feel
 2
This love you give
 3
Is it for real?
 4
 
 
You've hurt me badly
 5
Many times
 6
But made up for it
 7
All those times
 8
 
 
It might be easy
 9
To make me cry
 10
But its always for a reason
 11
Like when you lie
 12
 
 
I always feel
 13
You keep things from me
 14
What are you hiding?
 15
Why cant I see?
 16
 
 
Do you want this to last?
 17
Or do you want it to fail?
 18
Because where I am
 19
Is wanting to bail
 20
 
 
I dont think
 21
I should feel so much pain
 22
Every time
 23
We shout in vain
 24
 
 
I know people fight
 25
But why can't we talk
 26
Quiet it down
 27
Go for a long walk
 28
 
 
Just discuss things
 29
Like adults
 30
And realize
 31
It's both our faults
 32
