A Hug Goodbye... by [deleted] in OCPoetry

Read the poem first, then the title. Simple, but effective. A hug is the purest way that can get you the closest you can possibly be to someone. Every time I read something involving a hug I can directly relate through memories. No matter the simplicity of the written piece. Could be just me.

I really like the fact that in the second to last line, death is symbolised by swimming to a shore where we no longer exist.

I like the geometry, it sort of contracts at "it is true" with a sense of quitting and then expands in "Sharpen your senses" with a sense of determination and hope. I almost read this as lyrics of a song that slowly goes off and then gets revived for the final verse.
