Once again..you've knocked me speechless. and we all know that doesn't happen often..wow jesse..

Salt into my open wounds
Stinging I can't control
My dear, I swear it's not your fault
'Tis the nature of my soul

^ i really loved the whole, my dear thing. i don't know. it almost seemed mocking to be that sweet and use a pet name when speaking of pain..

Nature of my soul
Like the nature of a ghost
Summer ravens that fly away
Turn to fog upon a coast

^ summer ravens fly away...wow...

But standing on this frigid beach
Broken hearts you will not see
Broken hearts are taken by the waves
By the waves, into the sea

^ "broken hearts you will not see" OH! the irony! it hurts!!

Yes, the ocean took me away
But thats not your fault
It's not your fault the wound is open
Or that ocean water's full of salt

^ i loooooove the last line. simply...amazing. it's just such a simple statement. but it completely captures how unable we are to control so many things...

great job. again. darn you.

~Yes, the ocean took me away
But thats not your fault
It's not your fault the wound is open
Or that ocean water's full of salt~
this line was just...WOW. there's just so much explained in such few lines. being broken hearted causes ppl 2 shut down---like being carried away with a wave---and wen that happens ppl just give up on love which is like pouring sault in2 a cut---it doesn't make it better, and it doesn't make it wors, it just keeps the broken heart broken and hurting more--- b/c wen u shut down and give up u don't give any1 else the chance 2 heal ur heart and that causes lonlyness wich is the salt.
well anyway, beautiful poem, great ending like always 5/5

Don't worry, dear
It's not your fault
Open wounds are what I am
-so much meaning in that
also, i agree with gabby on this passage:
Yes, the ocean took me away
But thats not your fault
It's not your fault the wound is open
Or that ocean water's full of salt
-shows how we can't control everything
5/5!
