To a Heartbroken Soul
November 19, 2011
Dragging myself into
the kitchen a post-it
stuck to the refrigerator
I’m leaving.
I’m leaving.
I’m leaving.
You can see it by
the way my eyes fill
with salty tears
clinging to my lashes
Faking
a hard expression
seeming to move on
I miss you already

Everything you write is perfection. This poem was so simple, yet so powerful at the same time. I loved the repetition of, "I'm leaving." I also loved the very last line, "I miss you already." This poem was so heartfelt and wonderful. This is truly a work of art, amazing job.

I liked this poem a lot. It was simple, yet I really understood what you were trying to say. I liked when it repeats "I'm leaving." It was almost as if, it had to be repeated to let the message sink in. I can understand the feeling of having to put on a hard mask to stop everyone else from seeing how you are not okay. The description of the tears clinging to the lashes was great. I can really picture it. This was a great piece, please write more.

This is beautiful, I love it. There is nothing too short about it. In my opinion shorter poems are more powerful, because they show emotion in less words. This is a great example of that. I can definately relate to this piece.

Vivid, once, twice, thrice again :) There is nothing too short about this, it does it's very own job well and then some.

I liked it! Although I found it somewhat hard to understand what exactly was going on, but (if done right) that can be a good writing technique. but remember, don't overdo it! orelse, the reader will walk away completely confused. great job though! keep it up!
