Chelsey dushi,

I think this most be one of the best and saddest I've read by you.
you've grown in your poetry,
and I adore how you stepped out of your rhyming scene..

you've been coming up with some heart breaking pieces lately,and although I'm not exactly on medication..

I can relate completely to this..

"My brain cannot do,
what my heart thinks I must"

you know how you are always saying you want to quote all my things, I'm feeling the same way towards that particular phrase.

sometimes people go away from us,
and although we don't want to, we keep on wondering what they are doing now , after us..
how is their life going..

you've painted the image beautifully,
the trembling, I can almost see it perfectly.
(not only because I stalk your pictures you know *winks*)

but because you described it very clearly.
I love the incorporation of the mg in the piece,
adds more emotion...

this I like.
Well done mami.

Simply beautiful is all I can say when on your flow of words I gaze.I am all for poems that have life no matter how they are they written but well and alive yours is and nice as a kitten.

Oh wow this is super amazing!!!

How deep is this poem!!! I had no idea where it was heading until the last line of the first stanza - when I saw the title I thought that you would be referring to an actual person as a replacement, but having drugs as the replacement - oh boy!

Instead of silly texts,
planned vacations,
I have tingly hands
and heart palpitations.
My brain cannot do,
what my heart thinks I must
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Oh this is so true. This really describes why you need the medication in the first place. Especially with how your body reacts when you lose someone you love etc. This sounds to me so much like anxiety

So I've found my cure
for my restless nights.
5 milligrams a day ,
To keep my mind off us.
tell me have you found-
My replacement?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I love this last stanza. It is like you're wondering if they are going through the same thing you are. Was the breakup / loss as hard on them as it was on you?

This is an awesome poem.

Very sorry that there's so much heartache.

Wow.!

I read the poem but I failed at leaving my comment. huh.. I thought I did.

I like this piece and honestly I wasn't expecting the outcome. I also agree with lioness, there is so much heartache.

"My brain cannot do,
what my heart thinks I must"

I like this sentence, I often time have a great dilemma with it. I don't know which one to listen to.

I really like the

"Instead of silly texts,
planned vacations,
I have tingly hands
and heart palpitations."

Part. And in my opinion shouldnt it be
My HEART cannot do
what my BRAIN thinks I must?

Cause your head follows logic and the heart emotions... Just saying. Anyways very nice piece.

I think you moved me with this right, not just because of its melancholy tone, but with how current your verses sound. It's like a story lived everyday.. the same questions.. the same feelings.
brilliant piece of modern art.

It is hard to let go all we can do is try to forget. It takes time.

Ahhhhhh
Honestly speaking This kind of poems is exactly what gets to me the most,
You've decided to pin down a poem describing exactly what happens in a very Depressing state of mind, Which is something I can relate to, But you've done it way better than I ever could
I salute you. 5/5
and a nomination if it qualifies next week.
so thankful for bumping into this.
