The Dream I Wanted.
Cheeky Missy said:
Wow. How very beautiful, yet so bittersweet, akin to the darkest chocolate which seems like chalk in the mouth until it melts, yielding a subtle sweetness. Gorgeous and excellently rendered with lovely imagery and a haunting, damning poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing. I\'m sorry you\'ve suffered thus.

A sadness pervades this poem a melancholic pain of past trauma that prevents immediate healing and a lost sense of where one belongs. Very nicely written

Your poem beautifully captures the longing for love and safety amidst pain. The contrast between the dream’s warmth and heartbreaking reality is deeply moving. Thank you for sharing such raw and powerful emotions.

Very emotive words Tobani, that other side is within us all but you can learn from it to provide happiness to the good side. Find a box like I do to put the dark thoughts in and throw away the key.

Mutley Ravishes said:
Are you talking to yourself in this one?
Wait, I just checked the comments! Now, this recalls an old teaching where the demons are converted into guardians. Isn’t that a mystery?!

The Urge To Kill.
Radha Raghunathan said:
Betrayal often enrages. But should that rage be allowed to engulf one\'s mind to the point of throttling the betrayer\'s neck? More so, what if the betrayer is one\'s own mind? There is no need to continue to be pally with such a victimiser. But, one suggestion is to get the best bargain by making the victimiser one\'s ally at arm\'s length.

MendedFences27 said:
The answer to your closing questions is YES. This sort of self-evaluation is dangerous and often ends in personality disorders. The greater good comes from accepting the frailty of human beings and forgiving whoever is the object of your wrath. If it is you, remember that you are human as well. What is done is done. All that matters is today and your tomorrows. If something in your past is troubling you, perhaps you can make amends without resorting to violent means.
Your poetry was engrossing and captivating. It draws the reader in and makes them think. What more can one ask of a poet? Enjoyed my time with this poem. - Phl A.

This actually hit me deep, loved it, it\'s melancholy because sometimes you miss the person who you used to be and kind of hate the present self but amidst it all, you can always grow and improve...

David Wakeling said:
This is certainly a great poem about a dark subject. Without knowing what the Ex friend did to cause such hatred it is hard to take sides. The Good Book says Thou shalt not kill but by the same token Deliberate cruelty is unforgiveable. This is a deep poem made me concerned.

Tobani as I read this at first I pictured this as another individual then it felt like one talking to the dark side of oneself. Who has not wanted to kill their dark side? And who has not had that dark side with them all their life as their confidant and best friend? A deeply psychological write for me.

you are absolutely right - a 6 may see like a 9 to the person standing on the other side - so one cannot be stubborn in certain matters/situations
