This one is not up to par with your others Sin, Not sure what happened but this feels disconnected to me. We can start out with line one and "seen" needs to be "see". It's almost like you started out with a rhyme scheme and then discarded it. "Me without You, It cannot be!" has a forced sound to it. try something original that goes back to your title "me without you, it's like lemon without zing." The word retard will also catch some of your readers wrong. It's just not nice Sin. (Sighs) The biggest thing is that you have Sweetarts sitting largely in this poem, its even the title and nothing really connects to it. I think you need to add the the candy theme.
Definitely not your best but we all have those writes. ~Jan
It has an interesting sense of unity within the poem, the evidently connected souls. I agree with JayceeC in the bold choice of diction, but i think it emphasizes the loss of thought and therefore poise in expression. I also particularly enjoyed the wordplay of 'Sweetarts', combining the infantile craving of candy to your infatuation with her but also read as 'Sweet arts'- alluding to this sort of love poem. I Think there is more to the poem that others may on first reading dismiss. However, i enjoyed this. Well done. xox
This is amazing it really is, the way you describe the want and need for this person, and how you compare it to candy really got my attention. I love it
