In an upside-down garden

Maybe you changed,
or maybe what happened was
I fell out of love w/ you
and you didn't want to realize.

Maybe life changed,
or maybe you pretended
and left me with myself
while I lied to everyone.

Maybe nothing's changed,
and everything has gone wrong
what with you and your Mi-ran-da...
and me and the cold dark silence.

Maybe you're jelous,
of the fact that I got out
and moved to a new town
and found some new guys.

Maybe you just hate the fact
that I'm not there anymore
to be the dependable one
for you to rely on me.

Maybe you've changed,
and you haven't realized it yet
but I realized it immediatly,
OR
maybe it's me.

Allysa --- girl, you need to let him go
I know it's hard, but at least try
you'll find someone who'll sweep you off of your feet
someone who'll treat you like a princess
nice to see you around again
and nice to see you sharing again
thanks for the read

Spelling was a slight hindrance to the story being told here, and I suggest you make the spelling changes... if you can... Unless there's significance to the abbreviation of with as "w/", I would suggest that you not abbreviate it as such as it kind of turns the reader off to the poem immediately... and, it's "jealous" at the beginning of the fourth stanza, by the way... and the third-to-last line (the line right before the OR) should have "immediately" as the last word, not what you have there.

Other than that, the poem seemed to flow fine and it really was well-written.  Which, is saying a lot, considering that it was a romantic love-oriented piece (maybe a breakup piece or something) and that I really generally dislike the romantic pieces that are posted. ^_^  Good job on this one.  Props!

My favorite line was where you divided the name "Miranda"... that was unexpected and left an impact on my mind.  Beyond that, it had steady flow... the echo was weird and mutated and not quite consistent, but still, I love the way you divided the name "Miranda". ^_^  It just seemed symbolic in a way I can't quite grasp right now, and it really seemed perfect the way it was.  ^_^  Mi-ran-da.  hehe

Thanks for the nice read, and hope you keep on writing. ^_^  Take cares, and hope you get over anything emotionally which deals with the poem at hand. ^_^  Until next time.

hey wow..that guy above me *points up* typed alot..I not gonna type that much..anyways! This was really good. I enjoyed the way it was very personal, or at least seemed to be, to you, with the name "Mi-ran-da" and other things like that. As for the spelling "errors" he mentioned, what happened to poetic freedom? j/k i suppose. i love the power you express through this, and i LOVE the last line.
