You chose the highway and I’m holding back
These tears inside of me I’m feeling so sad
You went your way and we drifted apart
But is it to much to ask not to break my heart

I’m holding back
Cause I don’t wanna be the one
who’s standing in the way
I’m holding back
Cause I only wanna see you strong
See you smile each day
I’m holding back

As you said goodbye my heart stood still
Realizing that is not a dream it’s for real
You’re leaving and there’s nothing I can do
But then to close my heart knowing that we’re through

Ouch. It's always hard to let go of someone.. keep your head up though  

Anyway.. I really liked this one, the rhythm break for the middle stanza was good.. keep it up!

For the majority of the poem, the flow was okay.  There were a few spots where it was interrupted a little.  I liked the way you split up the stanzas..
This was pretty good, not the best I've seen from you.
I'm sorry that you're in this situation.  I hope things get better.. stay strong and keep writing, it helps  
Nice job.

subconsciously, i think i can eat so much to make my stomach hurt, instead of my heart.

Very sad here. I liked it though. Hope all gets better for you.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

You've shared such deep emotions on this poem.  Hope things to go your way.  Keep sharing

So long lives this, and this give life to thee."  W.S.
