A toy

Powerful metaphor here, quite stirring. I hear you. 💖🙏

Thank you so much for the comment and feedback Daniel. I think quite stirring is an excellent description... 💖XoXo

Just so moving, the tenderness, the ache of years gone past.
Just tearful, beautiful and poignant
Love this
Love and light

Your comment is a perfect reflection because yes a lot of tenderness, a lot of pain, and things fade as time passes but remain tearful and poignant in so many ways. Thank you so much for your comment and feedback. 💖XoXo

The story behind so many relationships, great weaving of a painful tail with the metaphors. This is indeed a tight one

Definitely the story behind so many relationships on both sides of the fence. I will always cherish when you think something is tight. Indeed a tight one, maybe even a little more. :) Thank you so much for the comment and feedback. 💖XoXo

Relationships can be very hard but when they are abusive it can truly devastate the soul and the affects can last a lifetime. Thank you so much for comment and feedback, I really appreciate it a lot. 💖XoXo

Awww Dearest Kristina❣❣  You've written a poignant piece that makes me want to treat better everything I treasurr in life. Though you speak of a doll, a plaything, your words can be so easily a metaphor for how some of our most vulnerable humans are treated. Bravissima Bella BD🌹😘

Your big heart shows through as usual GW. "makes me want to treat better everything I treasure" is just so beautiful. I cannot imagine a better response to this one. Indeed people can find and exploit vulnerability of every sex, race, religion, and class - and so often people will but there is also so much beauty in the world as you demonstrate and thank you for that. 💖XoXo

A toy should be one's private shadow and not given to acres of fallen memories and hijinks.    

As usual Adagio your comments are straight to the point but oh so meaningful. Thank you for your comment and feedback. It is deeply meaningful. 💖XoXo

I have lived this. It is wonderfully expressed. You’ve really blossomed in your writing. It’s lovely to see.

I really wish you had not although I already knew you have. It is really great to see you back. I was planning to send you a message to say that but like an idiot I did not. I have really allowed myself to open up recently for many reasons but I appreciate you saying that so much. 💖XoXo

I’m looking forward to seeing what you open up and the art that follows

Love the metaphor... Works wonderfully

Thanks you so much for the comment Tim. I always love it when you stop by and if you love the metaphor I am very happy with that. ;) 💖XoXo

This is really nice, writing-wise and format-wise.

The feelings are full of suck though, that's not fun for anyone.

Okay, you said really nice formatting wise so I officially love you. I rarely do girl on girl action but fuck it, I love you. Yeah the feelings expressed are not fun and full of suck (not the good kind). Anyway, thank you so much for the comment, formatting is all I have to say. 💖XoXo

Stripped down emotion that delivers and keeps delivering like a sledgehammer
You have a way with your readers
Not pretty but holding us in the palm of your hand, wishing we could come to your rescue
I know I would

Stripped down just for you Poetspeak. All so I could get this great comment, wait that sounds really bad nevermind. I love my readers, they are the best... Not pretty - ouch. Holding in the palm of my hand, I am nice like that. You completely derailed my smartass there at the end. So mean but I love you anyway. 💖XoXo

This was early on.
I already wanted to save you.
Mind blowing

Saving me, now that's a lifetime commitment.

So heart felt with every word spoken from the darkness of the hurt and pain a very powerful and insightful piece as it is very thought provoking respect dear poetess

Hey Stoney, thank you so much for the comment. In all seriousness, this was indeed born from darkness, hurt, and pain so although I am trying to have some light heartedness in the comments I very much appreciate your comment and that you really understood the message. 💖XoXo

You are very welcome dear poetess..respect I appreciate your you sharing your story dear poetess sometimes it is the things that we go through create our best work that comes from our own hurt and pain 😇💪👍👊👊👊

You will find the right person for you.  Keep on writing.

You are a romantic Francisco, I like that. I like you. 💖XoXo

Thank you for that nice comment.

KX this rousing and emotionally spirited write is heart wrenching.... Much respect to you for this courageous share. This is brilliantly written and immerses your readers into the misery, pain, and despair of dark love with metaphoric splendor. Pure Poetry!!!!

Thank you, FF. As usual your intuitive comment is right on point. I never really thought of anything I write as poetry so I really consider 'pure poetry' a big compliment. I am very happy you felt the metaphor was  effective in the portrayal of this dark love.  💖XoXo

Unique metaphor with a powerful point. Great, as usual. Hugs and peace, oral

Thank you so much for the comment and feedback Oral. I am really happy you found the metaphor effective to drive the point. As always, I love your visit and hugs! 💖XoXo

You continually amaze me with your diversity of talent. Hugs and peace. oral

Dear K,

You are rocking the formatting scene as of late. I’m desperate to copy this but I have absolutely no savvy with it. And if I’m being totally honest I’m much too lazy to figure it out so I’ll covet your know-how.
There is a lot going on within the piece itself that makes me feel bereft. Abuse in any manner is a fuck up beyond measure. The emotional detachment of a parent from a child is a cold and isolating experience and this write  was recalling my relationship with my father. I’m sure I’ve missed your intended meaning but visiting these feelings of my own has given me yet another aspect of thought and I really appreciate that from your write. H🌷

Like a deer in the headlights, I am having such a hard time responding to this. I don't feel like I am rocking the formatting scene but still you have made me so happy by saying it. I am super impatient with my one pass formatting but I guess it is getting better. :) It is always such a pleasure to read your amazing comments and I appreciate them so much.

It is interesting you mention the detachment of a parent and your father. Although that was not what inspired this specifically I can definitely identify with that feeling. My own father's behavior had a profound  impact on me. And I can see your point in regards to that relationship, and the feelings and affects that come from that.

As always, thank you so much for your comment and sharing your thoughts. 💖XoXo

Hmm, this was heartbreaking in all it's metaphorical and literal sense. It's hard to realize how sometimes the love we feel for others will numb us to the pain being unleashed.

Excellent work Kristina.

As usual, your comment is so amazingly accurate. It is so true that love can numb us to the pain being unleashed. And sadly that is all to often the case. Thank you so much providing your feedback and insight Wally. 💖XoXo

beautifully written
with every word
capturing
the emotion
the feeling
of the situation

Thank you so much for the comment and compliment, Mystic. I really love that you were able to feel the emotions and feelings. And I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me. 💖XoXo

Use of literary devices. :) I am not sure which ones I used but I love that. This one is very meaningful to me but really all are. I actually teared up reading it though but I have been more emotional lately. Mature, honest, open, and soulful - absolutely all of those things. I am glad you felt I conveyed the thoughts well. And so happy you see it as art. Thank you for your wonderful thoughts Ted.
