Cruel Smile
Why?
Why do you do
Do the things you do
You make me cry
Cry till I die
Dead
In a grave
Underneath you
Underneath the world
Never to be seen
Saw
I saw you smile
Smile when I died
I saw wverything
Yet
I still love you
You make me angry
Everytime I think
I think of your cruel smile

My name is Sabrina, but I go by Xander. I hate slam poetry, but i love poems about love and heartbreak. When I write poerty most of them end up being a heartbreak of just sad in general. It how I get out my emotions and it's the only way I can be myself.

Multiple compressed ideas: betrayal, death, love, anger, cruelty packed densely throughout
Strongly negative: heartbreak, death imagery, anger, conflicted suffering dominate
Fractured syntax, repetition, capitalized words create agitation and urgency
Approximately 15 lines; falls in 7-15 line range
Minimal metaphor/simile; mostly declarative emotion with slight death imagery
Pure lyric internal voice; direct address but introspective, not dramatic persona
