This is an awesome poem. Evokes many memories & feelings in me of new love & longings. Extremely well done.

'i want to remember the desire
that waited behind each
word when i first began to
write with conviction
or intent

maybe i am still wishing there
was someone who knew
me before
my secrets.'

These lines make the poem for me. It's like a raw search for passion using the lives of those around you. And when those moments end and ebbs away sometimes the words seem to follow.

Beautiful work.

This has an excellent tone and progression. I like how it deals with the changing and advancement of emotions. How emotional attachment grows so much more complex the more we realize what true emotion is. Very well written. MD:77.

This was very good. I liked it a lot.
I really liked this line:
"maybe i was younger then –
didn’t realize my heart peeked through
between my eyelashes when
my eyes were closed."

You're write really well!
