This made my heart hurt.

Nicely written.

Love, how I can relate to this in all honesty! I have received the same gift. This is beautiful and heartbreaking.

This poem is truly relatable, to me this is quite unique, death is waiting for everyone from the day were born, really creative piece.

Keep writing

Tony

Its weird considering the people we love hurt us the most... I'm glad this is nominated that is all..

Heartbreakingly beautiful!

Judging Comment:

This is written so beautifully sad yet it comes across with a
strong sense of sadness and anger-anger in the sense that it
was not realized earlier and at the same time to receive a gift
such as this from the one you love just makes the heart break.
Just one thing the opening line “A boy I once was knew,”
without the was I think it makes sense…well done.
