Notice of absence from Vanna
I come and go. Sometimes I will post everyday for a week and then I won’t post for months.
I come and go. Sometimes I will post everyday for a week and then I won’t post for months.
I didn’t leave the door open. How did you get in.
I locked every window, boarded up every door, and somehow you still snuck in.
You’re like a song stuck in my head—
playing on repeat until I forget how to think.
I never wanted you here, but now that you’re here, I can’t let you go.
I hate that you control me— my emotions,
my mind, my every move.
I hate how you carved yourself into me,
how you linger in places I didn’t know were soft.
But you make me happy, like a child running through a field.
You put a bubbly feeling in my chest, you make me feel on top of the world— and that’s a long way to fall.

Well written. Your poem explores the complex emotions associated with love, desire, and attachment. It portrays the struggle of recognizing the duality of a relationship—how it can bring both joy and pain.
Thank you so much
You're so welcome, my friend
Clever writing of the last line makes the poem both meaningful and humorous. Loved it
Thank you so much
You are most welcome
These are questions I catch myself asking. How is it that I hate but can love at the same time? Lovely and relatable poem Vanna, keep writing.
Thank you I appreciate your feedback so much
Vanna, this holds that conflict between control and longing… what begins as intrusion becomes something you can’t release. The emotional swing from resistance to dependence feels honest and heavy. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
