Is this good writing?

Why is it so hard to forget? Why are your memories so difficult to stamp out. Why does love creep around the corner, but your hate snuff it out? Am I the only on, who misses what we were, what we could have begun? I feel like I'm the one falling. But this is only the mildest re-run.

    It's definitely a good start. I love your choice of descriptive vocabulary without entering the dreaded purple prose.

    I highly suggest you posting your work on

    You can get your works rated and commented on by other writers on there by writers new and experienced!

    That is a really good place to start! Good use of repetition and I like the idea that love is a fire that can be "stamped out"

    Is the last line meant to rhyme? If you are not writing poetry, it is very important to make sure that phrases do not rhyme. It can make the mood cheesy and clichéd when in fact you want the theme to stir the reader's thoughts.

    I hope this helps, good luck with what you are writing! You re doing a good job so far <3
