Lately, I've been having some personal problems, which I will not get into here. It feels like I've been watching everything that's going on through a window, seeing it, but unable to feel it. So your job is this: make me feel again. Write me something to which I can relate. Hit so close to home that it makes me cry. It's a hard job, but I think, with the right poem, it could happen.

you're really hard to impress by the looks of things...

I simply want something honest and raw that isn't cliche. Bonus points if it relates to my situation, which I am not sharing at the moment. The problem seems to be that everyone writes about love/lost love as the main topics, but do so in a VERY cliche way.
