Burning Heart
March 30, 2017
Broken hearts can still survive
Through and through with no more lies
As I did, not long ago
While moving on awfully and terribly slow.
Watching as the clouds move on
Missing the moon as it's gone
Missing my smile, I had not long
Laughing and trying to make it strong
A genuine smile shall return
And from this, I shall learn
That to try to even yearn
Will only result in a burn.

How do you edit something you already submitted?

My favorite part is “That to try to even yearn/ Will only result in a burn”. I suggest separating this poem into three stanzas based on the rhyme to improve flow. Also, I recommend adding a comma in line 3 to clarify the meaning; without one it is uncertain whether you mean “As I did, not long ago” (meaning you did this thing a short while ago), or “As I did not, long ago” (meaning you did not do this thing, a long while ago). I assume you mean the first but a comma would make it clearer. In line 6, replace “its” with “it’s”.
