You were once
my sanity
my saving grace
my entity

you once have been
my eternal lover
the long-lasting flame
that survived any weather

you once foretold
that we'll never part
no matter the outcome
We'll have each others heart

but now i am hurt
i'm stripped on the floor
left without an answer
by the one i adore

Hey there!

:iconprettyflour: here on behalf on :iconpoeticalcondition: with the critique you requested.

I want to start by saying that the title is so very apt.  You…a word that can be very open ended but is well represented in this poem.  The first stanza hooked me- it's short but powerful in meaning. After that, the emotion shifts, which is something I like to see in poems- a change of mood, if you will, is nice to see in such a short poem.

I find the piece to be well rounded and touching.  A good read for sure.
Thank you for sharing your words.  :)
