One love

by Karla   Nov 3, 2011


You were a place where I could bring
My weary self every day after trying to save
The world from my weirdness.
You hated me, you loved me as
I taught you how to caress my scars every night
When you bound the winds of the world, blessing
The hours which kept our speechless secrets.

You were a tender hiatus
Where I left myself when I was statistically
A survivor, a number to be forgotten.
You happened to me.
You happened to me.

One love,
My love.

You left.
What's left when what's left is love?

    This is such an interesting poem in the way you have worded it, it holds a slight cryptic and puzzle type tone to it. However the content is very clear, that this one person's love was a big risk for you, but you loved them anyway, let them love you back and gradually began to let them into your life, your heart and you past.

    I love the wording of "speechless secrets"

    I also thought this line was powerful and held a big impact to the poem, because I think it shows how much it is a risk for you to love someone else...

    A survivor, a number to be forgotten

    I also challenge you to take this line, from this poem, and make it into a new poem today.

    I like the change in the pace of the poem towards the end, it went faster, but I guess this shows perhaps how fast this person left you. Suddenly love happened to you, it found you, you believed in it, then just like that it left.

    I also like your ending question, of what is left, very philosophical thought, and it does make you wonder about it. I suppose it would depend on what mood you were in, and whether you had anything else in your life to live for and keep a hold of.

    Great poem, I enjoyed.
