A poem of mine. Wrote it a while ago. What do you think?

Soulless, so empty and uncontaining.

She ripped me open, and left my life waining.

I can’t seem to get passed it.

We seemed so happy, what the hell happened.

Our life together seemed so fast and,

Now my memories are worthless, I feel so abandoned.

But to mention it all, and tell it like it has been.

Just a story of my life, and this is how it happened.

We met each other, and it was love at first sight.

I knew it was with her, I would spend the rest of my life.

Everyone said I was wrong, I thought I was right.

I told them I loved her, and I would ask her to be my wife.

I told them they didn’t matter, I didn’t care what they said.

To just leave me alone, and just like that it would end.

They looked at me with disapproval, and shook their heads.

They left me so fast, ashamed to call me their friend.

With everyone gone, my time being spent with her.

I pretended to be happy, but my life was steadily getting worse.

She became my cancer, and I desperately needed the cure.

She took my life over, so quick with great force.

I had to end my grief, my suffering, this madness.

There was only one way I knew it could happen.

Just to end my life, and do it my fastest.

The only way it could be done, the only way it would happen.

But I couldn’t do it, no matter how much I plead.

I was afraid of death, and the thought of being dead.

Then I finally realized, no matter what anyone said.

I had to suffer through life, though mine was at end.

Update:

i am not bob Member since:

Poems dont always need to rhyme. In this instance the poem is more lyrical, not rhyming. And the poem isnt cented around the girl, nor does it rly have anything to do with the girl other than the fact that the dude thought he loved her. and when his friends told him it was more or less just lust, he blew them off. after his friends left and he was spending all his time with her he realized he wasnt rly in love with her, but they were married and he was kinda trapped.

i rly dont think the meaning in the poem would be that hard to figure out. I wrote this when i was twelve or so, which would also be the reasonf ro it being so long, and wordy, you try being twelve and writting a long poem without makin it too wordy.

    It's too wordy. The whole poem could've been shorter. For the content, it's too vague. I don't understand how the woman destroyed the persona's life. Focus your words on that instead. The rhyming isn't good. If you can't rhyme well, drop it altogether.

    Just don't ramble on. Focus on what you're really talking about: the woman.
