That was an amazing poem and I hope you can write more stories and I also could not stop reading it and I hope you get the recognition you need for this poem.

Sincerely, Ayan

Powerful--you punch all the points--spot on--well conveyed notwithstanding the acrostic challenge--startling imgery--intimacy bound in cube of ice! Cheers. LIZ

Love has always based on preferring others to oneself, it has never been based on what's good for self. And sometimes it's based of feelings, but love is classically a verb, not a noun. Beautifully written entry in this contest, great acrostic, good luck in the contest, blessings, Roy

The new word I learned to day was 'vainglorious'. I love it! Good use of the acrostic style to share the story of a broken relationship. We can all relate to these feelings, which you have described well. Nicely done!

You did a good job writing this Acrostic poem and unpacking love, too. Selfishness is the main cause of breaking up. I totally agree. I wish you can have some hope in the end. Otherwise, it is a well written poem.

This is a good submission for the acrostic poem contest. Of course it is always sad when a relationship becomes unhinged and this expresses that well.

    Yes, it is sad, but life does go on and every experience we can take a lesson to grow from.

wow, so sad - i do hope the inspiration for this piece of work was reading a sad romance novel and not from personal experience. i am guessing the latter however as the pain in your words seems very real. i like the way you set it up. don't like to whitewash but i cannot think of a way to improve it. congrats

Your acrostic poem is very creatively-composed and SO powerful, vividly describing why a relationship has failed and is irreparable. The I and E lines are especially expressive of the heartbreak and accompanying bitterness.
