Cassie, this really hit me. There’s such a painful tension between wanting love and fearing what love might uncover. That struggle comes through strongly, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I Am Lost
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, what struck me most is how emptiness and longing keep circling each other. There’s a real ache in wanting someone close while feeling almost unable to trust that closeness. Strong work, Cassie. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Before I Step into the Dark
Paul Bell said:
Once you step into love, hurricanes don\'t matter.
Always think there should be a practice run though, you know, a starter pack in love, the do\'s and dont\'s. Sounds like a business idea.

I love your last line that ties the poem to the title. It is deeply metaphoric and conveys well its message. Very nice

Echos of Forgotten Smiles
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Cassie, this really moved me. Grief has such a strange way of keeping someone simultaneously absent and incredibly near…their laughter, voice, and face somehow surviving within us. Beautiful and heartbreaking, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Monkey
Paul Bell said:
A bit of self loathing in here, and we all get it from time to time.
Sometimes the chains get tighter before they release.
Great poem.

No Exodus
Paul Bell said:
Solitude can be fulfilling for a time, but only for a time.
The reader picks up the frustration in this write, cos at some point we\'ve all been on that journey.
