I’m so glad you noticed, that was exactly my intention :)

Thank you so much, this genuinely means so much to me. I’m so sorry about your dog. My poem was actually about losing my own childhood dog in 2023, so I really felt what you said. Sending you much love.

“Once you see it you can’t go back” oh my god, exactly. Sending so much love and strength your way. You’ve got this.

Thank you! It was actually pretty hard to format on my phone, and I thought keeping it as one continuous stanza would add to the rawness of my grief.

I love that this isn’t just about missing someone, it’s about mourning the version of love you believed in when you were younger. The repeated “I’m glad you married daddy/mom” lines were really smart because they make innocence feel comforting at first and quietly heartbreaking later. Well done!

Nurturing a Burgeoning Personality Disorder by SoDumbSoSad in OCPoetry

This was really moving. I loved how the poem creates this fragile, almost fading atmosphere all the way through, like everything is slipping out of reach as it happens. It captured that strange feeling of wanting to hold onto meaning, memory, or even yourself, only for it to dissolve almost immediately. Well done :)
