    I think we've all felt this way at some time or other. When I was with James I loved Karl but I didn't think he was stable enough [ha and I didn't look at James properly either, obviously!] so I just stayed with James though it wasn't all in it... Sad but true. Great write here honey.

    WoW this is an amazing story you put into your piece of poetry. Doing all the right things with some else, when your heart really belongs to another.
    This is some great writing.

    I liked this so much!

    The best part of it was this:

    " what would you give up for me?


    your life.
    your breath.
    your love.
    your drugs.
    your heart.
    your habits
    me?"

    I love this poem.... I also like the way that you shaped your poem, very almost conversational yet your whole point it put across beautifully. Great write and a beautiful read.

    Very nice write. How you may be in love with someone but you know they aren't right for you or they don't really care, so you stick with the one you know who has the feelings for you. Very beautifully written and I must say I can relate to this and have gone through this about 6 months ago and it's kind of a depressing thing but I'm better [as far as that situation is concerned] anyway. Loved the write, keep it up.

    This was very strange. The style is unique and how you put your words was also original. I was a little confused by this but overall it is a fantastic piece. Good job

    Beautiful expressions of magnificence in love. The way you structure your poem express comfort and strength. Love is unconditional and whatever comes with it. Through thick or thin. True love support and is a rock! and don't go flat. Nearness in the heart is intense and can handle anything and everything. Lots of abundance in intimacy I love my husband and have to finish his poetry.

    I really love the way you structured this... What a creative format! Everything's falling. It's beautiful.

    It flowed exceptionally well. The topic of unrequited love is often overdone in poetry, but I adored this one. You have strength, yet it is succinct. It's amazing!

    The only suggestion I have is to eliminate the "me" in the "What would you give up for me?" section.

    It doesn't seem to make much sense to give up you for you.

    Maybe there's more to that than I'm seeing, but as a reader, it was a bit confusing.

    Excellent poem!

      i was actually thinking that when i reread the poem
      but it something that makes perfect sense to me i guess.
      i just couldnt part with it.

      in a way the person in this always said he would give up everything for me,.

      and in the end gave up me.

      im not sure if that helps any actually.

      thanks for the comment

        Aye. Life unfortunately does tend to come at us that way on occasion when some of us fall victim to our human condition. Fortunately, there are mediums for dealing with that condition, and you do it quite well. Ultimately, this writing is for you, not anyone else, and that one word has significance, so be proud of it.

        I think the explanation is better used in your heart, where this poem came from. Everything makes more sense there than when you bring it out into this tactile world when rational scrutiny goes and poisons everything.

        In the end, you still have you. And a wonderful piece of art to show for the season of your life which is leading to better ones.

        Not too shabby, I suppose.

    sad

    how heartbreaking this was to read. to not be with the one you love makes life kind of meaningless in the end. well written and leaves me with a very empty feeling, which i think it was intended to do. i am looking forward to reading more from you. viyanna rosemarie
