Sorry

I thought I saw you crying
but then you looked away
I wish I could have helped you
but I couldn't find the words to say

I don't know your story
or how you got that way
it doesn't even matter
so please don't look away

What if I had said yes?
I didn't know what to do
I'm just so screwed up
I didn't mean to hurt you

I don't know how to feel
my heart has been closed
I'm afraid to feel again
and of the pain that could come

I'm sorry if I hurt you
or if it seemed like I didn't care
because the truth is that I truly do
that is why I'm scared

I liked this alot Rain, I

I liked this alot Rain, I was moved greatly. I liked your usage. I do have a suggestion or two. I hope you don't mind, I will copy and paste to show you what I mean. but I could not find the words to say For this lines flow, Like when you say it out loud, needs to lose a couple of sylables for your timing. So I suggest using a contraction to achieve that. but I couldn't find the words to say. flows better. Just an opinion. In your second stanza you have or how you got that way it doesn’t ever matter I think you probably meant even, Next. Your last two stanza last line both start with and. And this will make more sense when I give you my last advice. But for this I recommend changing the first word of the last line to, so. Now my last advice is for your repetition. In all of your stanzas you start with an I statement, except your 3rd. In my opinion if you used another I statement. It would carry the repetition the whole way through. These are all just opinions, and I wouldn't have took the time to give them if I didn't like the poem Rain. I really do. So take what you need and keep writng, your good. Julie D.D.
