poem about my ex

I feel like I’m the only star that doesn’t have a reason to shine.

My past has run away so far, that I feel like it’s not even mine.

And my head just hurts so bad, because I keep on thinking of you.

My heart is torn in half, but you won’t come back to fix it.. And I would love to wish you were farther, but I don’t want to risk it.

Because every day is harder, and I can’t just pretend that everythings fine.

I’ve always loved you no matter what, but I can’t do that this time.

Whenever you held my hand, you let it go.

Whenever I touched your hair, you cut it off.

And every time I let you touch my heart, you ripped it out.

You ripped it out every single time, and every single time it hurt so bad.

And now that you’re gone, I’m finally ready for the pain.

But now that I’m ready for the pain, it’s finally, just too late.

I really like how the first few stanzas rhymed. Rhymes are always brilliant.

Overall, I think your poem is very nice. It’s sad, in a sense, but you get the feelings and thoughts across well.

Good job.
