Description
Dear mum,Don’t cry for me
The choices were mine to make
It was my will, not a mistake
You had a plan for me
Something I could never be
And so I did what I had done
And it all came undone
Dear dad,
Don’t cry for me
There was nothing you could do
I shut you out, there was no way through
You nurtured and cherished me
Protected, happy and free
But I did what I had done
And it all came undone
Dear friends,
Don’t cry for me
The times we shared were magical
Even if I seemed a bit hysterical
We hung out and talked for hours
Rolled around in a bed of flowers
Yet I did what I had done
And it all came undone
Dear lover,
You won’t cry for me
You will breathe a sigh of relief
Ponder our interaction so brief
You have no way of knowing
Your responsibility for the foregoing
You did what you had done
And with it I came undone

Very good, one of the better poems that I've read in a while. Only one thing that I would change personally;
the last line, became instead of came, that would benefit the rythm methinks

rofl! I'm sorry, I'm not rofling at your comment, it's just that line actually had been "became" in the final draft, before I changed it to came in the final version just before submitting it Became does benefit the rhythm, but the I decided to preserve "came" in all the last lines accross the stanzas
So while I agree, I'll keep it for the aforementioned reason
Thanks for the thumbs up, glad you liked it

Thanks... Yeah, I know, like I said in the comments, this was initially supposed to have been Unplugged ([link] ). Both deal with a similiar theme.
