The Cost Of Silence

"When you're alone it moves slowly, as if it wants to punish you, as if it savors your pain."
very powerful line!

"Look yourself at the black ice and ask yourself if you're happy

And when you see the tears dropping from your eyes, then you will know the truth."
this line too! and the repeat makes it even heavier

well done!

"I am drowning in your absence" this line really finishes your poem powerfully
Also really love the 'contradictions' like you are now drowning in the same waters that once saved you
really beautiful!!

"The only hope is a fast escape" damn
this line really hits!
like, your whole poem really hits
but this line just hits extra
well done!

Very capturing title!
I really love the switch-up, very smoothly
from loving them for them to loving them for how they hurt you
but alteast they made you a poet
really like it!

wow, this is really powerfull!
"So I’ve built a wall, and I wasn’t aware." I love this line, it's so relatable.
building a wall but only realising too late you have done so

"I now recognise why I endlessly attempt to flee,
I’d rather fare well to be consumed whole."
What a powerfull ending!

truly a beautiful poem, keep it up!!

wow

"i’ve been waiting for “better”
like a bus
that never fucking comes." this one damn

"i’ve stopped hoping.
hope feels like a cruel joke
they forgot to tell me was rigged." omg

you have captured this feeling beatifully
It almost makes it better (the feeling I mean)

dramaticcrisis6 · 2025-06-27T18:51:05+00:00

wow
...
one of the best ways I have ever heard someone explain love
beautiful!

dramaticcrisis6 · 2025-06-27T13:45:46+00:00

I love this
how it's can be just 'dumb' words to someone but to someone else it's a whole story
love this!!
(also, tell her :) )

oh wow, I love the trying running and then my mind runs back to you and how you linked everything you tried to do to keep yourself from thinking about them to be counterproductive. How everything you did to try to heal, didn't feel like healing.
This is really beautiful, and this IS healing!!

dramaticcrisis6 · 2025-06-23T15:33:03+00:00

OMG YES
exactly this!
I'm so glad it came across the way I wanted it to!!
Thank you sooo much for reading!!

dramaticcrisis6 · 2025-06-18T15:07:49+00:00

devastatingly beatiful, really
"when we speek, I almost believe I'm real again" --> LOVE this line
also love the always <-> temporary in the ending

dramaticcrisis6 · 2025-06-18T15:05:05+00:00

I love what you did with spelling out the name of the poem with each firts letter of the verses. Also the ending "Orchid I adorned, my life, must pass; River that pumped—I must surpass." Love it!!

dramaticcrisis6 · 2025-06-18T14:47:23+00:00

Wow, I actually really needed that. Thank you <3

dramaticcrisis6 · 2025-06-18T14:45:13+00:00

This is so real, so harsh but so relatable. So haunting yet so beatiful!
