The poem expresses a great pain in few words. The hero is the one imagined and the truth causes the fall of this hero. It is a tragic moment in one's life that is marked by disappointment and you expressed this feeling with inspiration.

I felt like it's speaking about some kind of barrier is there between the lover and the loved one which poet is unable to overcome and feeling of guiltiness is overpowering the poet which he is trying to overcome. Just my opinion.Loved reading the poem and thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my poem and for your perspective. Initially, I didn't want to put parameters around the subjects because I do like my poetry to be interchangeable to the individual interpreter. I can see how you came to your specific view. When I put it up to post though, there were places to make notes and a brief description. It was then, I decided to go ahead and reveal my personal subjects, but I am happiest when my poetry can speak on multiple levels. I appreciate your opinion and thank you humbly for sharing it with me.

This poem fits the 5-7-5 poetry requirements. I wish that the font was a bit different because it was a little difficult to read the poem. I don't know the story behind the poem, but sadness is clearly evident.

    I respectfully thank you for your review. I will certainly take your font opinion into consideration and see if I can find a better suited one or perhaps even enlarge the lettering to make it easier to read. Perhaps you can check it again tomorrow and see if it made a difference for you. I appreciate your feedback.

I feel your pain. I hear our message. A knight in shining armour have never come my way. Be strong and time heals. This is well stated. Good job.

    Thank you for your kind words and review. I am fortunate enough to have found my "knight in shining armor", or rather he found me 16 years ago. It's through his love and strength that has helped me endure this hardship recently. I believe there is someone out there for everyone. It's when you least expect it, it appears before your eyes. Keep your head held high and your aim to the stars. Happy writing!

You have the required syllabic count in each line.

You tell a sad story in three small lines with so few words.

All the best in the contest. Well done! Nice to meet you, Willowsong. Welcome to Fanstory.

Welcome to FS my name is Sheri and I go by Saucey here.

I appreciate the boldness it took to write this well constructed gem, therapeutic for you is my prayer. A child whatever age is suppose to be protected and loved (healthy) Fitting presentation to this sad situation, a perfect pic to compliment the content, 5-7-5 syllable count is on point.

I wrote a Short Work called "Hypocritical Bastard" you might be interested in checking out. Thanks for sharing, I know by experience that all things will work together for your good. Out from the ashes will emerge a beautiful soul. God bless.
