My Passive Ugly Truth

I created this poem to teach passive voice in an ESL class in Chile (English as a foreign language) ************************************************************************** My heart was broken, By the sound of your eyes No words will be spoken, I will be wise. Your expressions destroyed my hopes, My trust is vanished, You have put me against the ropes by the end of the day, I will be banished. Give me one moment to believe Now my thoughts are awaken I know you have to leave, I will be forsaken.
