Oh, hi there; didn't see you! You've reached r/OCPoetry. This is a workshop site where you can share, read, and talk about eachother's poetry & etc. To post your own poems, you need to give feedback to 2 other writers. If you aren't trying to share, you're encouraged to give feedback, but aren't required. Try to be nice, questioning, and specific. If you can't do that - eat a cabbage and come back later. Try to give feedback to a writer without any feedback.

I love this so much, my favorite line has got to be   “The most important words are the ones she can’t speak” it really illustrates that not being able to communicate something, and I feel that feeling every day, it’s cool to see it put into words

this poem would pack a much stronger punch if you omitted some of the ands. they are functionally unnecessary in this poem 

personally i think there should be a line break between the line that ends with "i know" and the line that starts with "and it hurts her" 

if it were me, i would change that second stanza to (and you don't have to do this of course! you are the author and sometimes what sounds good to one reader won't sound good to another. i am providing this here for contrast and something to consider when writing your next poem): 

It hurts her since she knows she has to leave  
the most important words are the ones she cannot speak

she smiles at the stars and they twinkle back at her  


she will disappear like a memory that never was

i'm still trying to figure out how to format line breaks on here.... lol so idk how this formatting will look when i post the comment but the sentiment is there

i felt like in the third to final line and the final line there's some temporara

It's depressing the changes I make in order to make myself feel better about things I can't change  
How the seasons are coming and going  
and my thoughts of you are lingering but ever so slightly they fade away like a ghost through an empty graveyard,  
moving past each tomb,  
the grasp of her translucent hand grazes the head of each before letting it go, and whispering a sweet "I love you" as they whisper back "I know"  
and it hurts her because she knows she has to leave  
for the most important words are the ones she can't speak  
and she disappears like a memory that never was  
and she smiles at the stars and they smile back at her  
and then she's gone
