this piece is actually insane. I wanted to restack so many different lines, your way with words is so stunning. I just subbed & love connecting with other poets - youβre so talented!!
Oh my goodness, Iβm at a loss for words and Iβm still breathing. I just want to hug you and hope youβre doing well. This piece feels raw and it speaks straight to my soul. I couldnβt read it all in one go, so I paused and took in many parts. Regardless of how you structured each sentence, itβs truly appreciated. Youβre really unique, dearπ«π€
First of all, a hug. The WARMEST, BIGGEST hug for you. π« Thank you for putting it all out. Sigh. Breathe. God... this was heavy. I don't even know what to say... this was heartbreaking. There were so many lines where I just had to stop and stare at the screen for a second. I read it twice, and then a third time, and all I feel is that you don't deserve this. All I feel is that you are so, so brave, so beautiful. I know I can't ease anything, but oh God, I wish I could. There was so much ache between the lines that I found myself slowing down just to take it all in, bit by bit.
thank you so so much for taking the time to comment, i truly appreciate it! you are so so sweet and kind!
i will honestly never forget this comment and thank you for the thoughts & prayers, i am sending you all this love right back ππ« your kindness is making my eyes tear up a bit, you absolutely made my day sweetheart π§π½π«
the echo of it in my neighbourhood.β FIRST IM GIVING YOU THE WARMEST, TIGHTEST HUG π« second, oh mahibah how do you do this every time, I wish my pen spoke in words as raw as yours. I cannot tell you how much this piece resonated with me because then weβd both be crying. I hope someday it will all get better <33

"double standards and slammed doors.
demolition and darr.
anxiety and audacity.
i'm customised, accustomed to your antics.
your car nearing my house,
the sound your car halting."
the wordplay in these lines hits my brain just right.
thank youu morgan, youβre too kind π

And for the writer that you are, good gracious! The way you weave "nerves" and "blood" into something so visceral is incredible. "My nerves serve you far better than my heart possibly could" and "but only pliable am I lovable to you" absolutely shattered me. I hope, and I pray, everything gets better someday, and that there'll only be sunshine then<333!!! :)) Until then, sending you all the love my heart could hold, all the prayers my lips could mutter, all the warmth my soul could offer, all the best things the world has to offer, and the tightest possible hug your way. π«π«π₯Ίπ«Άπ©·π§
