    A Hole In My Heart


    There's a hole in my heart that anyone can see
    A whole in my heart where she used to be
    I'm starved for affection, it's sad but true
    So starved that I quickly reached out to you
    You were what I wanted, and what I need
    To help on the path of the life that I lead
    You promised nothing but it felt guaranteed
    But it tore me apart to watch you just leave

    There's a hole in my heart for all that I gave
    I asked nothing in return, and nothing you gave
    But what can I expect, I didn't let you know
    The burden of my life I don't like to show
    Friends do a lot, I owe them my life
    They know first hand, all of my strife
    But to them my tears may never flow
    That is why, Robin, I wanted to show

    The hole in my heart I opened for you
    Like the girl I had, you seemed to be true
    I needed what you gave, a light in the dark
    But I couldn't go forward, like a car stuck in park
    You don't want this girl, to share in my heartache
    You're to young to watch as my heart breaks
    but like a beautiful person, you do what you do
    And in that short time, I learned to love you.

    I didn't want to focus on what used to be
    The only thing I wanted was you and me
    For you to help in with my hearts fixin'
    I didn't want to hear about you and Matt Dixon
    I was a fool for thinking a person could love this face
    I should feel lucky for your warm embrace
    I let myself go, I watched the pain restart
    It's no longer a metaphorical hole in my heart.

    i liked the way you kept the first lines similar starting on the same note... i thought the way the last started different, helped bring it together, then bringing it back for the last line... finished it up well... the concept wasnt very original, but you kept the inteest there... smooth flow and decent imagery... wordplay ok, could have been better... but all in all.... good work... ~one~

    I thought this was a good drop mainly cos, I felt the same feelings u have in one point of my life.. So i related to this easily.. Thus I was more interested in finding out how u were gonna finish it..
    Flow was smooth, and quite basic, but all in all, worked with the topic. Like it was fact after fact, jus being presented.. "The hole in my heart I opened for you
    Like the girl I had, you seemed to be true"

    Some real nice lines in here, and I felt your emotion in the last verse. Especially:
    "I was a fool for thinking a person could love this face
    I should feel lucky for your warm embrace"
    ^^ thats pretty damn hard to say.. for anyone bro, so props on that. lol
    all together, a good drop..

    If u get the time, peep my Oms if u can. thanks

    I think very highly of this verse, you kept the flow very strong in the first stanza, keeping it all 10 syllables, then you switched up. Your imagery wasn't there, but you were alluding to something else, and when you do that, you choose not to show a lot of imagery.

    I loved the wordplay you had.

    "I needed what you gave, a light in the dark
    But I couldn't go forward, like a car stuck in park"

    Got me kinda laughing on that, also the light was good imagery.

    I loved the ending, and how you said the hole was no longer metaphorical, kinda alluding that you put a real hole in your heart. Strong ending for those that looked in

    8.5/10

    good drop man. the flow in this was simple but nice. to me it was much more of a poem for some reason. it just felt like that while i read it. but it was a good poem anyway. the structure was flawless obviously. everything came together pretty well too. the vocab was simple, but you used it to make great metaphors in this. i enjoyed many of them. all verses were good, i could even feel the heart. there was similar situation that happened to me in my life so i feel you man. props on this.

    fav. part:

    There's a hole in my heart that anyone can see
    A whole in my heart where she used to be
    I'm starved for affection, it's sad but true
    So started that I quickly reached out to you
    You were what I wanted, and what I need
    To help on the path of the life that I lead
    You promised nothing but it felt guaranteed
    But it tore me apart to watch you just leave

    ^dope

    hit mines up if you see it thanks.

    peace

    ps. do you know when you're going to be done making the 'Pandora's Box' crew forum? we've been waiting for a couple weeks now and 'The End' said that you're the one who makes forums. we were already accepted so do you know when you'll be done? soon i hope. Thanks a lot. =)

    Thumbs up Damn that was good

    Madman, those words really touched me. They express exactly how I feel better than some of my own rhymes about my past love, and that, I give you tons of credit for.
