The thought is foremost
as I walk in the room.
12 months - a fucking eternity of forgetting,
(of trying to hate you)
and still I have failed.
And I cannot sit calmly, quietly -
sip my drink, pretend not to care.
Instead I'll walk away.
Silence and self preservation,
the last refuge of the brokenhearted.

Emotional. Very. I'm sure many people can relate to this as well. ANyways, very nice write. Thanks for the entry.
-
Intense. I've been there so I can relate really well... All in all, a very good piece. I particularly liked the last two lines.
-
Very well spoken in a small package. Powerfully penned. Thank you for your entry!
-
You portrayed your emotions very well in this. Your choice of words, I feel, made this a very powerful write. I could imagine someone at the forefront of my mind taking on the mannerisms of the character.
I don't have a critical word to say. I just enjoyed how you said so much in only a few lines.

Your pain comes through on every line. It hurts, but it will get better. Good luck in the contest.
