Well, this poem certainly deserved the first prize. Congratulations. Your word choices here are sterling and create the imagery that stirs our hearts.
A splendid portrayal of a triumphant and successful erasure of warmhearted feelings.

This is excellent. Your use of literary techniques will draw the reader in. The metaphors you use create a multitude of images. You have use nice similes also. There will be some readers who have experienced these feelings. Well done.

An excellent poem, written with understanding and wisdom. It has successfully incorporated all the required words in a subtle and unforced way. It expresses optimism and hope. Great image. Good wishes for the contest.

Comment from Earl Corp
One thing I do when I enter the Use these Words poetry contest is to bold the required words so people can see I used all of them. This would be difficult for you since you bolted all the words. Good luck in the contest.

A lot of people do that and it's a great way to showcase the required words. I chose not to do it because I want the reader to focus on the meaning of the piece rather then thinking of contest rules. Thank you so much for reading. :)
Comment from Lyn Peters
Through Darkness touched me (I suspect it will touch many who have experienced the pain and disappointment relationships can sometimes offer). The first line gives the impression (allows one to hope) that this experience was very far in the past and has been left where it belongs, in the past. Wishing you good health and happy writing.

This is a great poem about hurt, rejection, and recovery. I know these things all too well, as I've recovered from depression. The photo is fantastic, it looks dark and foreboding. I never lost my way and I think this is a fantastic contest contender.
Al suggestion: The last stanza would flow better if you got rid of "and soon"
And "and then. Maybe if you read it out loud you will see what I mean.
These words detract from your important message.
Have a nice Wednesday
Blessings,
