The semi-colon should just be a colon, I think. Otherwise this is a concise and powerful poem, filled with dark remorse, but also a strange gentleness. The sharp clarity of your vision is, as always, striking. Thanks for the read.

thanks for pointing out, i'll make the correction.
Also a big thanks for your time and truly kind comment.  

If I were trying to say this exact same thing poetically it would be a three page piece.  I have no idea how you cram so much into so few lines.  I just... God I love your stuff.

and i love you! thanks a million for your wonderful feedback!

my dear, thank you :)

I can so relate to this. So wonderfully painful. Thank you for this.

i should be the one thanking you Jade :)

Wonderful artwork.  How do you do that?  Your poem has a brevity which makes it concise, to the point and says exactly what you wanted to say.  Not a word is wasted.  Great job.

my poems are as lengthy as they need to be. To answer your question, i don't know how i do it. what do i do exactly? Whatever it is, i do it naturally with not much thought.
thank you, truly, marcella.

i am smitten, Ophie. the one weakness trampled by circumstance, like Achilles heel. it felt like the stone skin would crumble at the touch of that soft place. this is longer than the poem now, but i had to say something. beautiful.

An honour, Jesta, to have you smitten, unintentionally of course, by this overwhelming poem.
Thank you. I hope it's enough.

Holy hell that was brutal. And brief. And beautiful. (And I swear I know adjectives that start with letters other than B, but those three just worked.)
Awesomeness!

haha those three are just fine :)
thanks a million Betty :)
