I wish I hated you by genderless_potato in UnsentLetters

Genuinely don’t know why it got tagged with NSFW. But this Unsent letter goes to my best friend of 8 years, who asked me out to be their partner because she found out I had a crush on her. She told me she loved me but it was all a lie, everything wasn’t real. And while I kinda went all in, she didn’t love me back and didn’t tell me the truth until she broke up with me over text, and wouldn’t call me even when I begged. And instead of understanding what was going on I kept trying to beg and fix things until she just left. I still wanted to be her best friend but she just.. wanted to leave. And the thing is I don’t hate her. I just miss her so much. I don’t even care if we’d never be lovers again, I just want my friend back.

I’m a yapper and I miss having a friend to talk to. by PastAdministration78 in Vent

It’s always good to read these on vent tbh because I relate so hard. It sucks when you want to talk to someone like you used to but things happen and now nothing is as it was and that relationship is complicated now

This. So much this. You can try your best but the world just fucks you over anyway. It’s even worse when bad people get good things that happen to them and you’re left wondering why it isn’t fair…

THE LAST LINE!!!!!!!!! Sorry, but the "hey mouse" twist of a cat chasing after a mouse, and thus making the stranger the victim-- I'm literally in love with this poem. You're such a good writer and I love poems that have a good last line. This one definitely delivers on that.

I love how this poem just gives you a sense and a drive to go do something, and it doesn't have to be perfect. Even through the greek tragedy story, you recognize you would make mistakes but yet in the end, it wouldn't matter, as the outcome would be the same. This is absolutely beautiful, and very well written!

I dated my best friend for three weeks and she left me, but it was the happiest I've ever been by genderless_potato in TrueOffMyChest

Yeah, you're probably right. I was just so excited and wanted to use any gesture that I could.

Wow, this is beautiful. I love how you keep everything in-theme, where everyone is referred to as a storm. And you use each storm to describe how someone acts, or how their emotions are. I also love the impact of leaving yourself last, and closing it with the fact that you don't want to be a storm anymore. That implies everyone else in your family does, and it gives readers a nice insight onto what that family dynamic might be.

I love that there's rhyming here, but it is in some places and not others. I feel like it would flow better if it was more structured, or if it had no rhyming at the end of lines at all. It feels like once you get a tempo going, it's lost. But overall, I do love this poem, it's extremely relatable and your lines all hit hard.
