There was so much raw emotion in this poem that it was very much felt as I read through it. The imagery and description made it so easy to picture what you were feeling and what was going on through your mind. The rhyming in the first stanza made it come alive and from there is just flowed with such ease. I really enjoy reading your poems. Your words seem to come alive when I read them. Keep up the good work, hon.

Great job at describing feelings. I'm sure many people can relate to what the poem describes. Nice work.

Wow, I actually like this. Well done!

This could have gone terribly wrong, but it really didn't. Great. Powerful.

I went through this as well - the ennui that seems to settle after you 'recover'. There is nothing left to do once things have settled. You find it hard to accept what you are - so you make them some distant relative. A part of you now quiet and wilting, kept like an old Halloween costume. This poem was heart-achingly honest without being melodramatic, which was calming and refreshing to find on fictionpress. The thoughtfullness, the seeming 'musing' felt from line to line, is also great. Some of the line breaks seemed strangely random, though, and in the line 'comforting sadness', I think a more powerful word should be surrogated for 'comforting'. Just my opinion, however!
