This was interesting, more like a story or an epic saga. The voice had this chanting element to it, and the imagery was surreal, almost dream like, capturing all these roiling emotions of hope and pain and loss and desperation. I think it would make a great short story, or a great novella. You can develope the characters a bit more that way, get more sense of the dialogue between the characters and how this situation came to be, and the movement of the narrator from this irreconciled place to a place of resignation. estory

I have Never smiled through tears in my life until today. Truly a good poem for me. I can't give you advice on form at structure, but if reaching into a soul and pulling out an emotion worthy of praise, I can attest to that. I applaud. Bravo!

This is a beautifully written poem, so personal and revealing. There is much here with which many can relate--trying to know yourself and be true to the person you are, but longing for a relationship that may not be best for what you need. Life and loss can be so confusing. I could feel the emotion and it touched my heart. Congratulations on this lovely piece. Best wishes!

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
Your writing is very powerful. For me it was a reflection of how a relationship has changed you. I thought you beautifully captured the process of letting go of the past while embracing the present and maybe even looking towards the future. Your poem was heartfelt - great job! I enjoyed it.

Hi Violet , Wow you have poured both hearts out in this letter poem. I found it an interesting piece to read once I joined you and her together and found it quite sad
As well that neither of you could find the happiness you both needed
It seems you needed to write it all down as a cathartic exercise
But expressed nicely in free verse
Good luck with your future writings
Cheers Chris

Well, well, well, Sincerely Me. This is an excellent Free Verse entry.
It was a bit long, but well-worth the read. It actually felt like more than one person was writing it, although, the theme of 'choice' permeated the piece.
Quite enjoyable.
