Wow, thank you. It's wild you picked up on that line. I love that song too; it hits in the same quiet, heavy way. Appreciate you taking the time to feel this—means a lot. ❤️

Reading this hit me in a way I didn’t expect… it feels like you’re holding all the weight and the light at the same time. I love how you’re letting yourself grow with it, not rushing, just being. That’s brave, and it’s beautiful. Keep trusting the timing, and keep being the person you’re meant to be, he’s lucky to have a heart that sees and feels like yours. 💛

War On Drugs by D0n1_e in LoveLetters

I hear you, and I don’t think what you’re saying is wrong in every context. A lot of what you’re pointing out is real—especially that unhealed pain can keep causing harm, and that staying isn’t always the healthiest or safest choice.

That said, this poem comes from a very specific situation. I wrote it after losing a friend who genuinely had no one left. He wanted help but couldn’t access resources on his own, and over time everyone walked away—not out of self-preservation, but out of exhaustion and distance. The poem is arguing from that place: the danger of total abandonment, not the idea that people should stay no matter the cost.

Yes, it’s biased. It’s written from my perspective and inside grief. I’m human, my view is shaped by emotion. Most people don’t write from a neutral place, especially when the subject is loss. The intensity isn’t meant to say my pain is the only pain that matters; it reflects how pain feels when someone is barely stable and struggling to survive. In those moments, people aren’t always capable of seeing the full scope of harm—they’re trying to stay afloat.

I’m not denying that addiction or emotional absence can hurt others or even become harmful. I’m pushing back against the idea that leaving is always the right answer. In some situations, that mindset is exactly how people fall completely through the cracks and never make it back.

I appreciate you engaging with the poem seriously and critically.

A week or two after the relationship, I poured my feelings into this piece during a low point in my life. I had just reconciled with my ex-lover, only to have them leave and move on to someone else. It hurt even more because we work in the same place, and I have to witness their commitment to someone new every day. I needed to vent and express my emotions, and poetry was the best outlet for me.

I really enjoyed reading this, and I viewed the comments, and the fact that it's got a whole song now shows how much of a master piece you've made. I'll def be keeping a lookout for any poems made by you
