Stephanie Ward Poet Light Verse

The Empty Words

Desperate.. how can you be with someone and not love them. Desperate.. your heart is empty. Are you lonely? Desperate.. is it true? A shallow word? An empty meaning? Desperate..Desperate..Desperate, is it a rumor, the spread of words that ruin lifes. Am i invisable? I'm here. Standing in front of you. Maybe my glasses are blocking your view. I can change.. I'm not desperate. I'm in love, but then again what is love? An empty word. An empty meaning.. A rumor?

Darlene De Beaulieu January 31, 2018 at 2:07 PM Hello Stephanie, What is love? A feeling of affection for each other. Love each other for whom they are, not changing each other. Love is acceptance is accepting each other for each other. have a nice day my friend.

Silent One January 6, 2018 at 4:40 AM You are young, love changes with age.. You will see that... I agree with the other two, maybe look at the formatting of the poem... It is a good idea to read other poems on here, that always helps... Welcome to poetry soup...

Amelia Harrell January 5, 2018 at 8:20 PM I honestly love the message of this poem. The only critique I could find is to format it differently, like how you would say it in your head. But I am a young beginner too, and I hope to see more from you in the future. Stephanie Ward January 5, 2018 at 8:24 PM Thank you for taking your time to comment. You have no idea how much your comment means to me. I'm only in middle school, and currently trying to find something that fits my interest. I get comments from my teachers telling me that I'm a good writer. I really hope this is the way to go because it really makes me happy to express the way I feel but to make others take their time and think about it.

Arturo Michael January 5, 2018 at 11:40 AM Maybe you're a little fed-up with the bureaucracy of love...you want the real thing... Nice poem...I would format it differently... Like... Desperate Desperate Desperate Can you be with someone and not love them Lonely lonely lonely with an empty heart is that true... By formatting, you will figure out the structure of the wording... If I can I will help...Try and format it differently Stephanie Ward January 5, 2018 at 4:57 PM Thank you so much for the feedback, I'm glad you understood the meaning of the poem, and I will definitely use your advise.
