friendship
WinterBunny said:

I know exactly how you feel. I had a time in my life where I was isolated. . . not by choice but by my parents. They pulled me out of public school so I lost all my friends and the connections to them . .. the only people I had where my sibs but they are younger then me and. . . well. . . their family. It\'s not the same with someone who\'s not related to u and your age /gender. For those couple years I had no friends, no events. . . this poem speaks to what I felt during that time. Thank you for the emotional you put in the poem.

friendship
sorenbarrett said:

The pluses and minuses of friends and of being outgoing or introverted. A good write on the dilema involved. Well written it shows the vacillation between the two.

recognition
sorenbarrett said:

Such a good attempt for the first rhyme. The message came through so well and was identifiable. Keep it up it grows easier the more you do it. Lovely

The matter of selection is a complex one and jealousy comes from people still looking people, chosen and discarded for the strangest reasons and interesting write

it may be obvious
sorenbarrett said:

Mixed feeling in this poem not so much uncertainty as just confusion. Well written

does love exist
sorenbarrett said:

A most quizzical poem. Love does not leave passion does. Love is one sided and only rarely two. It does not depend on the other just the self. A lovely poem

a cruel love
sorenbarrett said:

This poem expresses a strong feeling of attachment and no desire for another. Love unfulfilled is the term I would give it as a letter to one that is now gone. Raw and heart felt.

Do you wish to forget?
sorenbarrett said:

A poem of break up but not forgetting the past. Nicely written

I know you\'re out there
sorenbarrett said:

A poem with longing and sadness. It implies an event that impedes reunion. Nicely written with just enough unknowns.

you are not kind
sorenbarrett said:

There needs to be a balance in life in giving and taking in a relationship and it appears that in this instance this is not the case. A lovely write

Release
sorenbarrett said:

Time wears away things we thought were permanent. A write about such erosion and the slow loosing of a relationship. Well done

if forever comes, is it waiting?
sorenbarrett said:

This poem is so nicely upbeat but uses contradictions such as \"my body is tired but my mind is awake\" \"a happy song that evoked deep sadness in me\" These create tension in the reader and promote attention to the poem. Very nicely done.

you always say the right thing
sorenbarrett said:

Ah the conflict between emotions and mind between the female and male. A deeper meaning couched in a relationship. You are right not to criticize for neither is better or worse only different and a blend is the best of all worlds. A nicely presented dilema for which there is no answer.

a reflection
sorenbarrett said:

Insecurity oozes out of this poem. Fear, doubt, discomfort all reflect in the mirror and who wants to look at that. Better to close the eyes or look elsewhere. This poem is raw and nicely done expressing well that feeling. Well done

a sandwich part.2
sorenbarrett said:

A metaphor for a relationship here where it takes two slices of bread and a filling in the middle. Without any of these there is no sandwich and someone has to make it. Nicely written.

Doesn\'t heartbreak feel like getting stabbed over and over again.
Breakup is like a bad tape that just plays the same stuff on return.
I suppose the pessimist would say you\'ve been discarded.
Now, the optimist would be thinking. Out with the old and in with the new, girl.

sorenbarrett said:

It is funny how there are expectations in relationships and how one wants to feel more special even if others are treated nicely. A wonderful write

To fantasize is such a common occurrence becoming Walter Mitty. A lovely poem about an obsession.

I Keep Listening
Tristan Robert Lange said:

I know that feeling of not turning it off…of listening just to feel close again. You’ve written that impulse so honestly, my friend. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

I Keep Listening
sorenbarrett said:

Love and loss lead to pain. All major topics of poetry. A read that feels so real and everyday that it leaps off the page and into the room. Nicely done

a sandwich analogy
sorenbarrett said:

I got this poem and loved the last line that has so much meaning. (I had that sandwich because we shared it and I loved it. ) Nicely done

a poem of breakup
sorenbarrett said:

A difference of feeling and a desire to unite on one side not quite the same on the other. Emotional entanglement a complicated subject. Nicely written
