Is this a good ballad?

We are writing ballads in English class and I have to read mine to the class tomorrow. I am super nervous so I am just wondering, does this sound like a good ballad to you?

There was a girl who hated the world
For the only boy she ever loved had left her all alone
She needed him in that moment, more than ever before
Without him she was nothing but a shell for an empty soul

The boy never knew how much she loved him
For she had never truly let her feeling show
He was sick of having a broken heart, so he let his lover go
Without her, he was nothing but a shell for an empty soul

Now one day they were both weary and broken
Dying without each other, fighting through each day
They both made a choice that would shake the world of those around them
A way to escape from forever being a shell for an empty soul

She sat down and wrote a letter
Saying goodbye to her friends and family
She told them she loved them, and please don’t forget her
And “Without him I was nothing but a shell for an empty soul”

The boy was in too much pain to ever write a note
But if he had I can tell you what he probably would have wrote
“Goodbye, I’m sorry it had to end this way. I just couldn’t fill this hole
Without her I was nothing but a shell for an empty soul”
