I cry one thousand tears,
but speak a single word,
and though I speak it softly,
I want it to be heard.1
I sigh one thousand sighs,
big and long and deep,
you pretend you did not hear
as I begin to weep2
the one who broke my heart,
the one who is dear to me,
the one I speak about is you,
will you ever see?3
others may not like you,
but I don't care what they
think about inside their heads
or what they choose to say.4
I listen to their rumors,
I listen to them talk,
when I tell them how I feel,
they just stand there and gawk.5
as I sit here and write,
and as I begin to cry,
I think about the word I said
and the word I said was why.

I'm not a fan of short-line poems but this is an exception, the rhythm is smooth and upbeat and does not have any draw-backs in sentences because of it's shortness. Great.

Claps.
This is beautiful.
The emotion, the flow...
Wonderful!

I really liked this piece. It shows emotion, it shows anger, sorrow. i put you in my finalists for the depressing poetry contest.. I loved how one question, why, can make a poem.. how that one word can make a difference to everything.. you put a lot of details that are chosen just right in there, also
-
I liked this poem. I find it somewhat similar to my style, which is cool because I find it better to relate to.
Good Luck in my Contest!!=] -
Is this poem about a certain hooked-nosed moron, Kayla?

It is good
Spoken from the heart, giving the reader the opportunity to really understand how you were feeling at the time. I liked it a lot, I cant really explain how I was feeling as I read it, but it was good.
-
wow

Alrite, rule in the contest, good grammar and spelling.
In the English language I write in, we capitalize "I" because it is a proper noun.
Kindly fix and I will re-read and judge. -
nice :)
wow. good poet.

ahh sad
Good poem. Those boys are rotters. Good for writing material tho, well done -
I LOVE how you used the word "softly" in this poem. It makesthe mood in the atmosphere so lively! And the message in this poem is good. Why? There cannot be an answer for everything. Its just the way that it is...
you're a very good poet. Maybe you should go to AllPoetry. (Not to sound mean or anything, just a suggestions as some of the best poets online are there.) -
That was so pretty, I REALLY like it..if you could have heard me when I finished all I said was "wow..." Really softly and quietly because really wow.That was really good.
