This is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of well written poetry for the Repetition contest. I like the idea of different rooms and their purposes in life. Good luck.

I think we all have such a room. But it's not the only room.

I find this really interesting and your narrator's plight raises questions for me. What is his backstory? I found these three lines, in particular, fascinating: "Where he comes to grieve over lives lost/And all the things he thinks she should have done,/And failed." There is definitely a deeper reservoir of stories here.

I am a retired counseling psychologist and I specialized in

Nice catch. You are the only one that noticed.
