I can't help but miss you Making waves in my heart I wish I could tell you just how much So much you mean to me Sewing my heart together with every glance You meant the world to me Over heels, my head is Usually I am sane, but you change that Superb, what I tell people who ask how I am Oh, the earthquakes inside me they cannot see Many people tell me I don't get it Unless they believe I fell for puppy love Can I talk to you? Hard to tell, because you're gone

Your Poem's Voice

Deeply personal experience of unrequited/lost love, autobiographical throughout

Multiple emotional ideas layered: longing, concealment, confusion, denial across stanzas

Melancholic and pained; some attempt at masking with 'superb' but underlying sadness dominates

Restless emotional turbulence beneath surface calm; internal conflict creates moderate tension

16 lines total; falls within 16-30 range

Metaphors present (making waves, sewing hearts, earthquakes); some figurative density but largely direct

Pure lyric internal monologue; first-person emotional reflection throughout, no narrative distance
