A good poem . I guess sometimes love can ‘ unground us ..
Sad that she’ would lose her sense of security for someone who wouldn’t remember her

Wow so deep and emotional! I felt your sensation of \"outcast\" seeping through this piece and I can relate. Well done.

That\'s rough. A one-sided relationship. But the way you conveyed the message was great! I enjoyed it! ✨

who am i?
L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
\'more power to you\'
(please, forgive me
for rearranging the order of your verses
that I highlighted
I just wanted your empowering voice
as that very First, pivotal verse!)
\'they can\'t see that I\'m here to change or die
they beg, who am I?
i am someone whose right to feel can never be taken
but such an answer is not yet safe
so I smile and I nod and I answer
with only my name\'
\'because for me love is bleeding and hate is freeing
and I am so goddamn tired of being
told my ardor and my resentment are just psychological phases
everyone is waiting for me to grow out of my own existence\'
\'and my melodrama couldn\'t possibly be a result of environment
no, it\'s my fault that I think black and white
that\'s why there\'s no sign of life in my eyes when snow falls
and why I am so vibrant that it suffocates them when the sun shines\'

The Last Thing You Said
L. B. Mek said:
liked the first three lines
a bulldozer entry, to your poetry
and yes, it often takes
someone to say goodbye
before we realise, we\'re free
to leave them behind..
a wonderful read
thanks for sharing, dear poet
and Happy New Year!

My Ghosts Typically Ascend
L. B. Mek said:
what a harrowing and bleak depiction
of yearned love and self awareness,
I personally think you have such a wonderful poetic talent
and am confident, as long as you continue to pen your truth\'s
you\'ll be able to overcome the worst in life,
I shudder at you wording such depths of hurt, at such
a seemingly young age
but I hope
that it\'s only made you stronger somehow,
and that the best in your life is ahead of you..
(thanks for sharing, such a brilliant read)
\'I was never a stranger to obsession
I\'ve always been a prisoner to my own enamor\'
\'Hollow husks scattering my inner world
You, however, were different
I would keep you as far from the crypt as I could
Yet I unknowingly dug your grave\'
\'I look around, desperate for someone to free you
But my past mistakes will cut into your delicate flesh\'

Windows
spilleronsheet said:
A beautiful imagery penned
And I almost lost myself
The windows that spoke a millions
Making so many sights
They were the windows of the closed world that time
Very well penned dear poet

I Was Captive Before I Lived

If I Had the Strength to be Honest

Often times I find myself at the crossroads of bitter truth and sweet lies. I opt to tell the truth 9 times out of 10. A nice read.

maybe, there\'s some hint
in the term
\'ashes to ashes, dust to dust\'
as-in, no one likes being reminded
of our inevitably, finite existence..

Chromatic Succubus
L. B. Mek said:
love the wordplay dialectic
between your bravely brazen, title
and the imbued, subtlety
of suggestive inference
you chose
to immerse your poem within;
demonstrating the duality
of confusion, in the mindset
of the poetic voice
you so delicately, unfurl and depict..
(a great write, love the cleverness
and sophistication
while wording it all, accessible and relatable)

Always painful when two are in a relationship for different reasons. Beautiful Tanka that pulls at the heart strings.

Relationships like this are a minefield.
Only one ending, and usually painful for one of them.

Searching for Poison
dusk arising said:
Such a well woven tale with a truly worthwhile message contained therein. Would that all those full of self doubt could read your words today and feel them instill a path to self assurance, the elixer.
