And My Heart Feels Heavy Again Poem by Rusha Manandhar

And My Heart Feels Heavy Again

Rating: 5.0


Had it not been you,
I'd never make this breakthrough,
With your uplifting and your trust,
I achieved everything in a just.

Once, we were best of friends,
Swore to never let this end,
Our friendship was all so true,
My heart aches, missing you.

Smiles always accompanied us,
A perfect you for me, a wuss,
We, together vanquished all our pain,
But now my heart feels heavy again.

When the flower was blooming so well,
One after another the petals fell,
There I sat, all so clueless,
Contented with hunch I was blessed.

When I flew so high around,
I failed to look at the ground,
And hence I lost my dear friend,
So precious, to an unnoticed end

AND MY HEART FEELS HEAVY AGAIN

line 4: I believe you either left out a word following 'just' OR you used 'just' as a noun, which I don't think is proper English usage of 'just, which I believe is meant to be ONLY USED as an ADJECTIVE. (cont.)

Last stanza: more symbolism I 'LOVE' the last line, a repetition of your title with CAPITAL LETTERS used, I suppose, for emphasis. PLEASE do something [EDIT, EDIT] about 'just'. ***** five stars

I suppose the words 'flower' and 'petals' are used symbolically to refer to a human relationship, I think friendship. I'm not a fan of symbolism and rarely, if ever, intentionally use it, though it can be a useful poetic tool.

stanza 4: line 4: IF 'clueless' is meant to rhyme with 'blessed', I'll say it is really 'reaching' for a rhyme, BUT I don't mind at all, as long as the stanza. and lines make sense. And they may make sensse: I'm not sure. BUT i'd put 'a' in front of 'hunch' and maybe 'that' after 'hunch'. : )

stanza 3: I SMILED when I read the word 'wuss'. It's been MANY YEARS since I've heard that word! I like it. And having read more, I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE that you knowingly used 'just' as you did. ;) (cont.)
