Oh wow, Clorox in a poem! It\'s quite horrid when it slimes over and fails to negate at a certain point. Most engaging read, Katie B. 🤩🕊️

Katie, this honestly reminded me how quickly nature can shift in the human heart…from sanctuary to source of fear. And yet the earlier love never fully disappears, does it? That tension runs through this entire piece beautifully. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Feels like memory getting washed out by something bigger than it—sweet turns bitter in the same breath.
There’s a quiet mourning in it, like a place you loved turned on you and never said sorry.

Katie, I connected deeply with the shift near the end…that idea that suffering can either hollow us completely or become something that deepens compassion and hope for others. That feels very lived-in and real to me. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Pain like everything else in this universe has its positives and negatives. The negatives we know well but the positives are seldom touched on. Nicely done

Katie, this is really moving. The ending is so striking to me...“He belonged to us / But first he belonged to the stars.” That lands with such grace and reverence...like recognizing someone was always a little larger than this world could fully hold. Beautiful closing, friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My friend, this feels deeply familiar…the way a lived-in space slowly becomes witness, companion, memory keeper. The walls almost become another presence in the poem. Really loved this one, Katie. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nicely said. Your poem\'s observation about color perception is quite homey as my husband and I discovered when we painted our living and dining rooms. Depending on the lighting, the paint seemed to shift between yellow in sunlight and white under our indoor lights, almost taking on different personalities.

This reads like quiet gratitude carved into something lived-in and solid—almost like companionship made out of space and paint.
There’s a gentle loneliness in it too, but it’s softened by how faithfully those walls hold everything you’ve been.

That old saying \" I wish I were a fly on the wall\" I wish I were the wall it sees and hears much more it knows all. Well said in this poem that reveals knowledge and is seen as a paternal or maternal guardian. Well written Katie
