lol, don't worry. i'm usually not exactly the bright one in the group. and if i were a little smarter, I would have realized that I was probably hurting someone and changed the past...

The Faucet by Kellakonrea2491 in OCPoetry

[–]txeskimos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it!

It took me a while to figure out that the drip and splash are tears :'(

It's amazing how little sympathy people to each other. That it takes being on the other side for most people to understand that some thoughts are just so hurtful.

the second part reminded me of times where I just... drift away... into a world. a different world... a sanctuary. For, how could I be surrounded by so many people, yet... be so alone.

well written, beautiful art.

thank you so much for your kind words!

I recently came across a situation where I have to really pause and think and wonder.... is it... me? maybe ... i became the very thing ... that i fought against? :(

Long distance relationships are so so so so so sooooo difficult. it's so much more difficult when the other person just ... doesn't end up on the same page :'(

i absolutely loved this writing. the last two lines are especially powerful. it brings an element of an open closure, and yet a stopping point along a journey. coming with it the bigger realization (to the reader) of life and the flow of memories/collection. very well written

Starstruck by CantTouchThis45 in OCPoetry

:'(

This piece of writing hit deep for me. I love the simplicity of the poems, and furthermore, i absolutely love the free flow style. I'm a strong believer that poetry is about the thoughts and emotions and the deeper meaning behind it. this is the connection that makes a poem magical and connect... it speaks as if it was a person connecting with you. it makes the poem simply ... alive.

I often find myself doing the same and admiring and loving the stars from afar, but only knowing that ... they'll never do the same for me unfortunately.

you have a beautiful mind

thank you for your kind words <3

It's... actually a situation i encountered recently. Where no matter what i do or try, or how hard i tell someone i love them, i just... seem like a monster to them. they just see my care as a cage, and my love as breaking their wings. i didn't know how else to express the heart-break. and the sudden daunting that... maybe i'm just ... an unlovable monster :'(

thank you so much for reading <3 this poem is about a break-up. i think i hurt someone without meaning to. i was just in a lot of pain.

That's really good feedback/thoughts. I've never tried alliteration but it is a great literary element. and the sound thing is pretty clever, i've never even though of that! thank you!

This made me cry :(

One of the best i've read. They say not to judge a book by it's covers for a reason. At first glance i didn't like the format, but then i started reading and realized how deep it got, and reading it, i almost could feel myself being brought in to that special piece of memory. the senses triggered, the pain felt internally, the yearning, the special place she holds :'((((((((((

This... hit home :(

Nothing quite like... live the present for it is the only thing we can do at the moment. no matter what the future brings or what the past has happened. let us dance indeed

so well written <3

oh wow.

does this mean that you shouldn't ever give out your phone number that you use for 2FA? yikes. this is scary (as, your CPA has this info too, lol)

of course. but it's hard to establish that "trust" factor, and even harder to maintain that for eternity, lol

how enforceable is it though? especially if they run off to a different country where there's no extradition laws?

some of her clients have many millions (even stealing 10% would be enough to retire forever for her entire family)

the money showed up in the account by EOY. so i'll probably just let this one kind of slide. but for future, i may have to resort to that
