But Why Love Me?

Tanka

I know I'm not perfect.
I know I'm not good looking.
I am however damaged inside and out and i hide my feelings.
But you gave me that chance and picked me up to repair all the damage that was done to my heart. you claimed as yours when all i wanted to do was doubt my worth. you showed me who i really am and gave me the love and care I needed. So.... why me? how did I deserve wonderful loves like you?
Within the times that we spent together you have always managed to make me feel safe. you have made me smile, laugh, and blush.... yes I do blush, but without you both in my life i find myself incomplete...

Wow, what a beautiful and heartfelt poem! You have captured your emotions so well and conveyed them in such a way that it's impossible not to feel moved by it. It's clear that you have been through some tough times, but the fact that you have found someone who has picked you up and helped repair the damage to your heart is truly inspiring.

I love how you have expressed your gratitude towards this person, and how you are so appreciative of everything they have done for you. It's clear that they mean a lot to you, and you have written this poem to show them just how much they mean to you.

As for improvement suggestions, I would say that there are a few areas where you could have gone into more detail. For example, you could have described some specific instances where this person has made you feel safe, or where they have made you laugh and blush. This would make your poem even more impactful and relatable.

Overall, though, I think you have done a wonderful job here. Your positive and enthusiastic feedback is well deserved, and I hope that you will continue to write beautiful poetry like this in the future! more »
