You have captured the emptiness that we often feel, when there is nothing inside.
Break into my feelings.... let me experience something.
Strong poem with good rhymes and meter.
Very well done, with interesting and unique artwork.

    Skye, yes...you put it very well - "let me experience something". A numb place is not where we want to be. Thanks so much for your great review. With regards, Sue

Hi Sixteez.
I'm so glad to be well again and reading this great stuff on line. This is an exceptional work where the speaker, who claims little or no emotion, evokes high emotion in the reader. A very insightful work.
Fondly, Rebecca

    Rebecca, wow, I never thought of it like that - in those terms. A numb writer evoking emotion in the reader.... Thank you so very much for your close read and great review. With warmest regards, Sue

    Hi Sue.
    It would not be the first time a poet created another layer to the work in an unconscious way. It had to be there in your head somewhere ... just not a formulated thought. That's why one great poet (forget which one) said "the poet is entitled to whatever the reader finds in his work".
    Hugs. :)

Sue - It is a sad, difficult time when love burns out and cold ashes just lay there. Love the rhymes and the fluidity of the read. Nicely done. Charlie

Wow, I'm not exactly sure how to take this poem. A love growing cold perhaps? The speaker wants to hurt to know that they still care? That's a terrible point to be at, I've been there, once. I hope to never be there again. Great job on this!

    More like the stresses of life which can be overwhelming at times and can rob us of passion (of any sort). Can put one in limbo or a feeling of numbness. Most definitely not a pleasant place to be. Thanks so much for your very kind review. With warmest regards, Sue

interesting and fitting artwork makes this a good presentation; astute capture of the pain all of us experience at least once in a lifetime; well written; not a thing to correct!

Sixteezkid, nicely written post. I think I understand what you're saying, about wanting to feel misery to know you're alive, yet to me that's a strange desire. I've been down bit never that far down. But somethings to think about.

    More like being in limbo. Loss of passion for a lot of things can occur with the stresses of life. Not a very pleasant place to be. Thanks so much for your very kind review. Sue

Nicely done, Sue. I think sometimes we are frightened of loving or caring again... afraid of being hurt, but this too is so real; wanting that pain to knoe one is stil capable of feeling. Good job!

Thanks for sharing,
Donna

How very sad. I would rather feel the love and let it stay. What a sad state of affairs wishing for someone to break your heart. Great job.

"Aching for love's misery", wow, what a great start! This gave me the feeling of being on an emotional lover's rollercoaster. Excellent job of writing.
