lost love
I took my steps back, |
It's very difficult to stray from something we thought we knew and loved, or maybe we did all along. It also takes a lot of strength to be the one to say goodbye, to make that move and leave the other person despite the fact that they can tempt you to go back to them time and time again, but you won't allow that. Takes a lot of courage that most people don't have, I admire you for that. There's always those feelings that linger, and we have to learn to erase it all from our memory in order to move on, they are just a step in the process and a hurdle to overcome in our way to feeling better and moving on. I just loved how you said you were 'homesick' because it is almost like we see this other person as our home, or a sanctuary we felt happy and content with, so once we flee from it, it feels that way. There's just so much meaning behind the few lines here, gives off that nostalgic feeling most definitely. The title reflects the poem absolutely perfect. Beautiful but definitely a tint of sadness as well. I definitely know this feeling & situation you speak of. |

A very emotional poem that speaks of love in a way that is very creative and also has a deep meaning to it when one reads in between the lines. The poem flowed easily and the structure was well built. Your description of things in this piece was also good as it gave me some imagery and the best thing in this poem I think is that you kept it short and to the point. I like how you are very open in this poem as it is easy to understand exactly what you mean and it i easy to know what you are trying to say as for no misinterpretation. |

This is one of those poems you read from long ago (famous poets) that really makes no sense unless you were in that moment and that time. The structure reminds me of that, and the beauty held here reminds me of famous poetry as well :) |

Beautiful, and heartfelt! Brings new meaning to the saying, "home is where the heart is." Maybe the heart is where the home is...another well penned piece. |
