dear victoria,
the sky
hung there a jaundice yellow
and your eyes
were distant stars
and the world didn't seem to matter very much anymore
just cigarette ash
drifting on the breeze
when i learned i'd never see you again...
maybe with a better mind
i would have known how to tell you how i felt
to bare myself
autumn leaf orange and valentine red
every poem i write about you
feels empty
just like silverlake
i wish i had gotten to know you
I'm glad i met you
sincerely,
bryan

Re. victoria
Hi Grae,how are you?
This is a melancholic,rhythmical pen.
It evokes an "OtherWorldly" atmosphere,when describing the feelings pertaining 2 this woman.
Such bittersweetness,that's truly palpable.
Touching,and intricate,in description.
The structured lines and spaces,for me,creates the distance that's between you both--- very effective!
This puts me in mind of a relationship I was involved in. Where,I felt I couldn't reach my partner,due 2 the immense amount of pain they had experienced,rendering my partner,unwilling 2 share their Heart with me.
Anyway,I digress-----
This is an absolutely Wonderful and Superb poem.
Very moving and emotive.
A Joy 2 Read!
Thank you for sharing Grae.
Take care.

Loving an emotionally unavailable lover must have been quite the heartache. A special kind of hell.
Thank you for the compliments.

Bryan,
Your pen, per usual leaves me profoundly moved.
The breadth of opportunities missed and the ache of loss reverberates long after reading; staying in my thoughts, where I become even more attached to the pain that was evoked.
This work is so relatable, human and heartbreakingly beautiful.
Some of the best read poetry I've come across...
I feel grateful that you've entrusted us.
Outstanding work
🌹💙

Ughhh. This just aches to me. Felt everything from

Dear B,
You’ve expressed a sentiment shared by all who have a heart that’s been broken. The way you’ve formatted the poem makes for a read that flows uninterrupted. Beautiful, heartfelt and gut wrenching. H🌷

This is sad but beautiful. I think there's always beauty to be found in loving relationships, even after they end. I love your use of colour. That's always a big thumbs up from me.

Why stop writing about them?
Use that to feed your need for inspiration. Because it worked here, this is a great write!
Angst is an incredible motivator. Don't bury it. Turn it into fuel.

I agree. I think emotions make for some of the best poetry. But I think writing about her is keeping her fresh in my thoughts. I'm not sure that it's a good thing to do. Thanks for the compliment.
