Lost in pain

This is based on something horrible that happened to me about two weeks


My heart was split in two

half for your brother,
half for you.

Until one day you heard me say "I Love your brother."

Then you admitted you where my secret lover.

Now my heart is not split in two but in a million pieces because of you.

You should format it so it doesn't read like one big sentence.

Other than that is was good... sad but good.

Try something like this... and please shout at me if you don't like me messing with your work... I would do the same...

Just one way you can throw it out for others to have an easier read.

I agree with Seeker72 on this one, the way s/he set it up reads much easier. Just a little FYI, the line
“Then you admitted you where my secret lover.”-the word “where” should be “were”. I’ve only read one other poem of yours but I like your style, your able to say what needs said and that’s it, something I have a hard time doing. Thanks for sharing this piece it was a wonderful read.

I’m sorry if that sounded rude. My own preference is to have people tell me so I can correct and I’m afraid I assumed that others would like the same done for them.

Sorry right back to you, I wasn't reacting to your post in any negative form what so ever.

Just pointing out to Angel that I personally don't tend to point out spelling due to my own issues with the written word.

I'm sorry if you thought it was an attack upon yourself, it was never my intention.

As unnecessary as it was thank you for the apology. You have taught me a valuable lesson though; not all people will want me to correct their spelling and I should keep that in mind, being sensitive to others feelings in this regard.

Angel~ I enjoyed the poem, as said in earlier post, but I think that the title needs something different? I’m not sure what so you would be smart to ignore me but I just thought I’d mention it…

I personally do not mind someone telling me my spelling issues, I had someone become very upset a few months back when I corrected them (Not here I must add) so I tend to shy away from that.

I must agree with the title though, it needs something that tells you just what it is about, in all honesty the first time I read the title I read "Brothers in love"

Maybe I that's just my poor eye sight.

Angel have a think about it and see if you can build your title upon the poem.

I apologize in advance for butting in, but I agree with Stargal.

Your title is vague in some ways. For instance, "Brothers and love" could sound like brotherly love instead of your intended meaning.

However, I really liked the last line:
"Now my heart is not split in two but in a million pieces because of you."
