Rachel, this is tender and brave. The brokenness isn’t dramatized…it’s simply held, honestly and carefully. That quiet resolve at the end really stayed with me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Never Mine
Paul Bell said:

Tough one, you give a hundred percent and get nothing in return.
Do you walk away with your head held high, or is it still raw and hurtful.

Never Mine
sorenbarrett said:

Unrequited love is an old issue that has been around as long as people. Love is seldom fair and its idea form seldom exists. A lovely write

I guess we all have had an experience similar to this in our lives. A broken heart that lingers over time. It is best to choose to live openly and seek new experiences. From personal encounters, I found it easiest to get outdoors and appreciate nature. Enjoy living. I hope you find happiness. You deserve it.- Phil A.

Friendship said:

well written.your poem revolves around unrequited love and the pain of feeling overlooked in a relationship. It explores themes of jealousy, betrayal, and self-realization, highlighting the emotional turmoil of being in love with someone who is more interested in another person. I love your writing; you speak from your heart.

Crying over a boy
Paul Bell said:

I would say you\'ve dodged a bullet, cos that girl will be replaced by another crying girl.
Good lesson in the love game mind you, gives you more scope to play.

The feeling of missing someone sits heavy in this poem. Nicely written it uses opposites well in the last lines

Lack of a better word
lunarchloedip said:

its interesting how attached we can become to someone before an \"us\" even exists. or at least that we can fear the ending of something that hasn\'t really begun. shows the depth of our emotion and care, i think.
thanks for sharing!

Fulfilling worst dreams is the topic of this poem and sad it seems indeed.

Have you ever felt…

Questions that need answers before there is commitment in the mind or heart. A wonderful write

The Show
sorenbarrett said:

This poem speaks of putting on the show and mask to impress others and never let them know what lies underneath. A sad read
