    I found this poem hard work and usually I am your oldie traditionalist, my one good point is that I have a friend his name Percy, perseverance and if a poem strikes something in my mind I love to delve so I read your poem three more time and it won through your message really is very strong, reliance and disappointment yet you learnt a lesson hope it helps, love is a fickle and beautiful thing is it not. Ray S Technique wise you went with your flow and it works I enjoyed it the last time I read it and think its worth the excellence label of 5/5 I gave it.

    I kind of took this poem in two ways and I'm not quite sure what message you were trying to give out.

    "I miss the storm that reaked havoc on me
    it caused so much damage and then set me free
    I ache for the chaos that destroyed my life
    kept me from happiness and led me to strife
    I miss the fire that kept me in flames
    that burned away faces and so many names..."

    ^^ These lines made me think that the 'lost love' the narrator is speaking of brought nothing but heartache down upon them, yet there was an undying lust that just could not turn them away. They lost friends, they endured endless drama... yet this was something that could be dealt with as long as this person was beside them.

    "All I know is I've been left here to mourn
    these catastrophes I once yearned to desert
    have now consumed me and become inert..."

    ^^ And these lines here are either really, really clever... or a mistake. They read -at least to me- as one big sentence. The beginning describes the narrator as "mourning the catastrophes" yet then it goes on to say that the same catastrophes "have consumed [the narrator] and become inert". I wasn't sure if this was done or purpose to make it so the catastrophes are a nightmare, yet the narrator likes them because they remind them of their lover?

    I kind of liked what you did there anyway, despite if it was on purpose or not, haha.

    Overall, an enjoyable read. Thank you.

    It has that calm after the storm feel to it. You've experienced a lot and have grown into a stronger person because of it. 5/5

    I was going to give you a good as this was a bit verbose but after reading it a couple more time that is what makes it so excellent and so I gave yo another 5/5 Ray S. A beautifully simple way of telling us of a lost love.
