Forget the dashes and spaces, for me this is all about word choice, pacing and contrast. You have accomplished these masterfully. Your pacing is slow and deep and meaningful. It forces us to hold and linger on every joyful and painful word that you have chosen so perfectly to capture these deep and powerful emotions. This is and incredible piece. You had me in the beauties of love and in the bleeding depths of the love lost. A masterful work of art. Very well done!

Very well written, very vividly portraying the grief and turmoil of betrayal, and its lingering effects. The poem is filled with emotion. Sending best wishes for the contest.

    Hi Wendy!
    I'm so glad my emotion was tangible for you! That was my goal. I wanted my emotions to bleed through as vividly as possible, and for the reader to be able to almost feel my pain themselves. Sounds like I was successful!

    Thank you for taking the time to read my poem, and for leaving a review.

    Best wishes,
    Keely

This poem is so deeply emotional. I could feel the warmth of love and the cold reality of heartache. For me that really pulled at the heartstrings. I love how you build up the feeeling of happiness - only to shatter it with the realization of loss. Truly a touching piece!

    Hi Michael!
    Thank you for your kind words! I was hoping my emotion would translate well into my poem, and it sounds like I was successful. I wanted to submerge the reader into the intensity of my emotions, so they can feel the rollercoaster of emotion I was feeling.

    Thanks for taking the time to read it and for leaving a review!
