"daydreaming is my way of pretending the truth is not actually true"
^oh yeah hon. I could totally relate with that lifestyle. I find myself dreaming rather then looking at reality and it could be a good thing but could also be bad.
I loved how you opened it. It was so simple yet profound .. if that makes any sense lol.
The truth you spoke throughout this piece truly touched me because I could relate.
My fave stanza would have to be the 4th one. I loved how you used the simple fact of washing your car only to find out its gonna rain & relating it your situation. I applaud you.
The ending was flawless. It tied everything together beautifully. It was so heartbreaking to finally let reality sink in and finally be convinced he's not coming back .. thats a sad thought. :[
"Reality: You`re really leaving this time
Make-Believe: You`ll walk through that door tonight and kiss me gently."
- sigh - These words struck a particular chord with me. They were so sweetly written and they just made my heart skip a beat when I read them. A perfect way to begin the poem.
Also, I noticed that your changing your form a little bit in your writing;; Well, I like it. (:
An amazing write, m'dear. Keep it up. Overall: 5.5
