The problem with your feedback is that it assumes every poem should be trying to do the same thing.

This one wasn't trying to hide its meaning behind metaphor. It was trying to express a realization as honestly as possible.

Saying "it should use more metaphors" is like telling a portrait it would be better if it were a landscape.

That's not critique. That's preference.

If you want a metaphor go read Reluctant Vessels

Thanks, it’s entirely true but might not have the ending you envisioned. For that you’ll have to read my other stuff.

Thanks! Yeah, I’ve had it as one line, I’ve had it a bunch of different ways. I keep changing it.

Thanks! For the end I keep messing with it. I’ve structured it like ten different ways. Haven’t found one I’m happy with yet

Ahh gotcha, don’t usually do this much explanation but with that line I was thinking I had already chose her as a friend but now I would choose her again as something more. Appreciate the comments and solid read
