We grow up to realize that the nothingness is a big thing :) like it

Really well done-such a sad write with a lot of longing to complete this life but yet you struggle on. Just facing another day can be torture and you've done a really wonderful write describing just that-hugs to you-

There is much I like about this. Your similes really ramp up the imagery. I especially like the "zombie forward" when life is a struggle, walking, hey living is just like moving like the dead.

So much within this piece that I need to read it again. Fantastic and glad its nominated.

Yes, Love can be a battleground. We are all suckered into it time after time but often it ends in betrayal, yet we all believe what they say, never really learning the error of our ways until it's much too late and ones heart is broken.
Another great poem BC!
