When Home and Therapy No Longer Hold
sorenbarrett said:
A truly great write that is so raw and identifiable. It calls out from the inside to the outside an existential voice. It is a search a journey for safety that mythical land we once believed in but found does not exist but in our dreams. This poem taps into those feelings that so many feel from time to time looking for a world long gone. A fave my friend

My Dearest Dad—My World Has Crumbled Around Me.
Soman Ragavan said:
“The walls I built now close around me tight...”
We build walls around us to help us navigate this life, to keep us sane, to protect us from dangers all around. Here the very walls you built to protect you have started closing around you. This is one of the ironies of life. Your protection becomes a very danger to you...

My Dearest Dad—My World Has Crumbled Around Me.
Soman Ragavan said:
The bond between daughter and Dad is a very strong one. The father is the one figure that the daughter seeks in a man, especially a man who will be her companion. The depth of your attachment shows through the poem. Your poem stands out by the value of the words and expressions you have chosen. They came to you through inspiration, exceptional inspiration from genuine feelings. It is rare to find such a structured poem in our times. More often today\'s poetry seems disjointed, a collection of vague ideas or feelings. But here, there is consistency throughout. The narrative takes hold of the reader and the story continues without fading until the last line. I have read many poems on poetry sites, but this one definitely stands out.

My Dearest Dad—My World Has Crumbled Around Me.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Friendship, this is a deeply moving tribute. From the unmoored grief to the slow resolve to rebuild, every line carries love forward rather than letting it collapse inward. It hurts, but it also stands. I’m grateful you shared this, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A personal story? Of a recently departed one? Or the anniversary of their departure?

Great epitaph.
Always think if someone gives you the foundation to grow, they\'ve done their job, and now it\'s your turn to continue the good work.
Dads always leave their mark in things they built in the house, keeps them around.

Very nicely composed this poem to me tells of a close relationship with a father now gone that is deeply missed. Loss that seems at time of grief to be overpowering is gradually turned to hope for a brighter day. It is in this brighter note that the poem is left. Nicely done my friend

Termination of a Promise
Soman Ragavan said:
Correct. Breakups must be managed. The best way is to start off by looking at the horizon ahead and not at the past. Your words show resolve. \"moving forward\" and \"stamped in bold\" : the words show that you are moving on. It is when we cling to the past that we get dragged down.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
This resonated deeply. There’s a particular hurt in realizing a promise was never mutual, and you articulate that reckoning without softening it or turning away. Honest and grounding, dearest Friendship. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My Damaged Brain
Tristan Robert Lange said:
I relate to this more than I’d like to admit. The way doubt starts echoing in someone else’s voice, then becomes your own…it’s painfully familiar. You put words to that experience with clarity and restraint. Thank you for this, my dear friend. Your poems make me, and I am sure many others, feel seen. And, conversely, I see you. It\'s a beautiful thing...being seen. ☺️ 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A dagger through the heart from one you trusted.
I suppose from biblical times till today, a broken trust is devastating in every way.
You can see why dreams get shattered.

A poem of complete heartbreak and devastation from betrayal. Here it seems that the boat is going down with the anchor, so sad. So raw and heartfelt it is most well expressed.

\"A Hollow Heart\"
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Friendship, this is heavy in a quiet, unflinching that image of the heart as a fortress really stays with me. It suggests protection and isolation at the same time, and that tension carries the poem forward with a steady sadness. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️ 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

\"A Hollow Heart\"
Paul Bell said:
I think when you\'ve loved one person, it\'s then hard to love another.
Plus, there comes a time when you can\'t be bothered to part with love for another.
Keep the love for yourself, sometimes it\'s all you need.

A beautiful poem in its sadness. It seems to reflect upon a fortress built to protect but instead isolates. Inside a building of stone safe but sheltered in darkness where nothing can grow. There is pain in this poem and sadness. Nicely written it speaks out for a need of self love. A fave

A best friend can be closer than family, and definitely cheaper than a therapist.
Strangely enough, most best friends you meet in school, and it continues through life.

Wonderful job, Friendship. That image of the lighthouse keeping the light on rather than blazing really stays with me. It reframes presence as faithfulness, not spectacle. Beautifully handled, dearest friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a touching and heartfelt poem of what one part of a friend is. It is so nicely written and feels so honest a realization that there is someone out there that does care about us. Very nicely done

Elegy for the Empty Mirror

Friendship, this is scathing in a quiet, controlled way. It doesn’t rage…it exposes. The restraint gives it authority, and the moral clarity lands hard without ever posturing. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
