Chels.....im commenting on my cell phone so forgive the spelling errors..ill fix later. I just read this to momma p and we both cried...its that powerful..to miss someone is painful and even the memory is enough to make a hesrt break...this deserves to be highlited...hugs you

I agree with andrea. The memory of a lost one can tear you apart. You see them when you sleep, when your awake, and when you just close your eyes. Strong are the words you use. Very strong.

Chelsey, I too was moved by this and the way you crafted some of these phrases, making it more meaningful than just saying this loved one is gone and you miss them. I so agree that memory is such a powerful tool and if I could not or was not allowed to think of that person who impacted my life....it would be a lasting hurt. That last line was amazing and hit home -- especially how you mentioned how vividly they come into your life, you must keep remembering because it's a different kind of pain not to be able to. Beautifully written with such real emotion....I loved reading this one!!!

Chelsey, I felt the pain in your lines, and it was really powerful, touching a part of me and bringing forth such emotion...which was transcribed within the lines.
The wording was subtly clever, the metaphors and ways in which everything was penned, just mind blowing, amazing.

Loved this :)
hugs xx

The first stanza felt a little.. stiff for me. Like you had a lot to say and a lot of sadness/attitude to go with it but you didn't quite know how to get it out. It shows the frustration really well.

I really, absolutely don't like the use of membrane here. It threw off the entire stanza for me, but the second stanza is my favorite. It felt.. gross? Gooey. Icky lol. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the bit about June, and know that month holds something obviously special to you. LOVE it.

These poems always hit so deep so mix that with your gut - wrenching talent and here we are I thought it was
A bit over worded at points but nothing to really harm the piece as the power and emotion just blew it out there

Awesome
