I came back to your poem on this Thursday night before Rita blows in, looking for hope. Hope that Rita doesn't turn left and hit us head on!
Every poet or person has gone through these times and feelings you describe and will again. Life is not nice sometimes and the "Happily ever after" thing is a fairy tale. Even when you find that special one, there are things that try us! Both in our relationships and our living environments. It is true having someone that you love and having that feeling returned does make it seem easier at times, there are still trials and tribulations to confront! I think this is our test and those that excel find happiness between the moments. Others get lost in the day to day grunge. Find your happiness where you can and good luck! Anthony

Sounds awful, the way you describe feeling trapped and essentially dead. Though I suppose we are what we think, and maybe the subject of the poem will learn to see herself differently. My favorite spiritual guru, Thomas Merton, has a prayer that sounds a lot like this-- a prayer of hope.

Very well written; you describe your feelings well, even though they are ever so sad.

This is an amazing write, so vivid is the picture you paint. But this is very sad, in my opinion. Such a person is lost on this path leading to Hope. It is there you just need to grasp it, there seems to be a tone of falling back into a darkness that takes away any sense of this life filled with a Joyful Confident Expectation.

The pain of lost love is the hardest to overcome, especially as I believe that we never fall out of love, but instead, forget what it was like to love that person.
You ahve done an amazing job of describing your pain.

A very clear depiction of hurt, confusion and frustration trying to figure out the 'whys' of things gone wrong. I really admire the way you avoided all the overblown hyperbole of 'love gone wrong' poems and simply stated with clear strong images the confusion, frustration and the desire to almost give up. Hope just needs a tiny bit of space in your brain and it will spring forth again and again even when there doesn't seem to a reason to....
