These screens are like a drug we\'re hooked on aren\'t they. Depriving each of us from the other. Somehow we were more a part of each others life before screens robbed people away from us.

I know the feeling. A good image. And not of a screen no less.

Halfway
Mark Maginn said:

I really like this truncated message of never reaching \"all the way.\"

The only change I might consider is this: Halfway. That\'s what I keep feeling no matter how hard I try
That\'s how far I can reach
and I was tired
I crawled
I clawed
and all I reached...halffway.

I suggest the reduced language to create the sense of absence in the reader, the absence of just \"halfway.\"

Nice work with lots of possibilities you can explore.

Where do we start
Mark Maginn said:

If I don\'t remember your touch
how can I capture happy?

I start here as it seems to me that not remembering an important person\'s touch is simply devastating. Should \"happy\" precede the loss of the memory of this much needed touch?

I suppose the answer lies in what unconscious thread you found in the re-write.

Good work, keep at it, this poem, I suspect, wants to open up into a deadening experience that just might be universal. Nice start!

Invisible
Poetic Dan said:

Wow. This hit me hard! Well expressed with a killer of an end.
If these feelings are yours, know even a little light can remain in the gloom. Listening to the words from you, thank you for sharing this!

Ashes
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks for another Poem REBECCA its all Greek to US !

When we look back @ the past it is in effect ~ All Ashes ~ of boats that have already been burnt ! Angela & I try ~ NOT to live in the shadows of a past life ~ We have to come to terms with the present ~ even though it is clouded by the past ~ we do have to clear our minds !
Every Blessing for the Future

Very precious we all are, thank you

All hearts are fragile. Needy of tender loving care.... good luck.

I trusted you
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

WELCOME REBECCA ~ Fortunately I did GREEK at School ~ so I fully understand the circumstances of your POEM !
It happens ~ but in a God Fearing Society it should NOT ~ Especially an older Man stealing the innocence of a Child who trusted Him ! The lowest form of depravity ~ it makes one ashamed to be a MAN !
Your hurt is echoed in the fact that you transliterated this to GREEK before you published it ! I trust you found sharing it cathartic. Your last two lines are very poignant.
Thinking of you ~
Blessings BRIAN & ANGELA.
