The Words You Never Said
You never told me you loved me –
While I loved you dearly.
B-B-b but you did not even care.
Did not care
at all.
Just fled -
Leaving me with nothing but
Pieces of glass
That cannot come back together.
You said “Sorry.”
But were you really “sorry”?
Or just selfish
As usual?

▾ This Poem's Voice
Your Poem's Voice
Highly personal heartbreak narrative, minimal abstract reflection
Multiple distinct emotional beats compressed into short space, rapid-fire ideas
Betrayal, abandonment, doubt dominate; deeply negative emotional content
Fragmented syntax, stuttering, dashes create urgent, turbulent voice
Approximately 13-14 lines; falls in 7-15 range
Pieces of glass metaphor; mostly declarative but some ornament present
Pure internal lyric voice; no narrative or dramatic distancing
