Poetry / Too Late...
TOO LATE
The world sleeps
And she wakes
To a lonely starless night
An angel weeps
As her heart breaks
Losing all her will to fight
Her words unspoken
Feelings never told
Ever since they had met
His promises broken
Secrets never unfold
Does her heart hold regret?
She misses him so
And he did too
But then his feelings had passed
Still her feelings grow
Even though she knew
Theirs, was never meant to last
And as she heaved
One final breath away
Saying her sad goodbye to all
The last to leave
Her grave that day
A man crying over her soul…

This is an awesome piece. I didn’t quite understand the end though.

To me some punctuation might me needed in the first line to determine which way you want your reader to think. I see the question mark; I would rather that it said Her heart holds no regrets, telling the reader, not question it.
it’s apparent that it’s a very heart felt piece. very relatable but cliche in some lines. you started great, i love the first stanza. i just feel you emphasized the “unrequited feelings/untold secrets” theme too much. it’s a necessary theme but you’re not expressing it in a fresh way. otherwise, good job
Your work reminds me Keats was only 17—great read. My only criticism is that I don’t know enough about the events that transpired to really get involved with your characters, and such is a fate of a lot of poetry. Your work gave me goosebumps, and I find no spelling/grammar.
This is just a suggestion. I believe your poem would be stronger with proper punctuation and proper grouping of lines into stanzas:
The world sleeps
and she wakes
to a lonely starless night.
An angel weeps
as her heart breaks,
losing all her will to fight.
Her words unspoken,
feelings never told,
ever since they had met;
his promises broken,
secrets never unfold.
Does her heart hold regret?

and he did too,
but then his feelings had passed.
Still her feelings grow
even though she knew
theirs was never meant to last.
And as she heaved
one final breath away
saying her sad goodbye to all,
the last to leave
her grave that day

The reason for such grouping is because you are using a rhyme scheme. It will help your poem become stronger because related ideas are grouped together, it also helps with the flow of the read.
Other than the mechanics…
I felt a sad longing here… This poem invokes powerful emotions from the reader! Congratulations for writing this.
“The saddest words ever spoken are ‘what might have been.” That is one of my favorite quotes and your poem reminded me of it. I really like themes of unrequited love and your poem is no different.
Very nicely done and I look forward to reading other stuff you have read.
cool i think that that makes the difference. keep writing!
This poem is so sad and yet so sweet!unrequited love is so tragic especially when it ends like this.I would suggest though changing the line “losing all the will to fight” to “losing all will to fight” or substituting the for her.overall i love this poem!
I liked it a lot the only thing i noticed is “have” in line nine. I thought that it should be “had” because of the angle, maybe.
