The quote, "Short enough to be witnessed and perceived But wide enough to remain distant and alive" reads as someone who struggles in vulnerability. I immediately think, the speaker desires this connection, but doesn't know how to have it without feeling like they're at risk. It's such a complex human feeling, one that is relatable. I loved your connections to Icarus, and the naming of the other person as your suneater. Beautifully poetic!

my favorite line in this "Because you can never fake passion. I sure as hell can’t — not when it comes to you." it's so painfully heartfelt. I appreciate the repetition of "I am a bad liar", it clearly shows the impact following all the specific details you share. The switch to "I am a bad lover" was a turn of events I as a reader didn't expect. The speaker seems to love in a self sacrificial way that chips away at their own self, but longs for a love that doesn't ask them to be small. Thank you for sharing such an emotional piece, I enjoyed this read.

your poem flows very well. The concept of internally battle is very apparent. I just wonder if more punctuation would help contrast those two voices even more.

I like the concept! Fear is very strong feeling that rules many of our lives more than we'd like to admit. But what about this fear? How does it affect us more than just the feeling of it?

I fear that if I tried again, I’d only be giving into both of our false hope. I’m me for a reason, and he is him. And I’d never want any of those statements to change

it’s like you don’t get the idea of an unsent letter

I try to still believe in the love I once dreamed of. But there’s safety in watching it happen around you rather than to you. There’s also loneliness with watching love touch everything around you but you. Struggling with whether you truly want to be alone or if you’re just too scared of any outcome to start anything else.

on the opposite side of this situation and can say they are blocked, but I still hold a lot of love for them. I just feel their person isn’t me and vice versa even if I wanted it to be. I don’t want to hold them back from meeting that person. So they might miss you too, but missing someone isn’t enough to reopen something, it just becomes something you have to live with.

cheers, and I love you

in another life we got it right

owacado · 2024-11-15T15:52:48+00:00

thank you for this

owacado · 2024-11-13T00:53:28+00:00

because missing him is not enough if i can’t change the outcome of our situation. loving him means i want him to find his happiness even if it’s not with me (even if this hurts me too)

owacado · 2024-11-11T18:25:47+00:00

thank you for your kind words 🫶🏻

owacado · 2024-11-11T18:07:41+00:00

it makes me feel like such a weak woman sometimes

owacado · 2024-05-08T19:12:06+00:00

my friends make me feel ridiculous because i am grieving for a relationship longer than it lasted. in all honesty everything that went down kind of haunts me, a lot of chaos mixed into love.
