Suicidal Impulses

This is interesting. Comparing love to a magnet. It's a different twist for a love poem. Especially since you two are much alike and repel. It's ironic but beautifully written. It is easy to relate to and you see the bit of need from each character and even through the love and pain you still love but know it is better to separate. I love it.

Am certain, if u had ur way you woud change ur destinies

I absolutely loved this
So sad and extremely relatable
You managed to write down all the words and feelings my mind fails to express in such an amazing way

Science states that
opposites attract and
likes repel, but when
two likes attract then
even science fails to
understand.

- I love this and I am fascinated by this idea and how some people believe in it so strongly and yet there are cases where it reverses itself and works just as well. Very creative idea for a poem!

"Love creates the impossible!"

- I like how this is singled out MeMe, this is very strong and like you are confidently stating a fact. It certainly does that.

We both loved each other
destructively, exclusively,
possessively, but also truly.

- this shows that even though real love can be true, it is not flawless and I love your choice of words to display this.

Suffocating one another
but breathing into each
others lives. And we were
told that our love would
one day kill us both, and
that hatred might be our
only savior.

- this is so creative MeMe, I love it. I like the idea of suffocating each other, so i get images of perhaps being possessive over each other and controlling what each person does/says etc. But at the same time breathing life into each other lives is amazing because despite the suffocation, you still need each others breathe to stay alive. Amazing! Hatred being a saviour is a very unique idea i have never heard or seen before, it makes me think how people say get out before it is too late and the pain of letting go now will save you from the pain of getting in too deep and letting go too late.

So you repelled, pushing
me and your heart as far
as it gets. And I saw you
from far away, standing
all alone, but I knew that
just like me you were feeling
like a ghost.

- this holds a sad tone in this stanza and the iamge alone creates isolation because perhaps they are starting to believe what others say even though in their heart they do not want to. Great insertion of a ghost.

I still recall how we pulled closer
from opposing extremes, and no
matter how dark were the shades
that reflected us; together we
were a whole.

- nice touch here to show that despite all, you were able to remain together to make everything seem okay and that you were both strong enough to get through it together even in the darkness.

Evidently it was easier to grab your
bags and go, and I know that you
would destroy my world if you were
to stay, but how can I ever call this
place my world without you!

- I really like the ending because it sums up the love between the two people and how they mean the world to you and you cannot imagine being without them even if it did mean disaster for you. It appears that perhaps they left to protect you because they loved you, through fear of hurting you and letting you down. In reality they will still hurt you because you need them.

I also like how the poem doesn't give an ending as such. The image I am left with is of them walking away in the distance but yet they are not gone yet. It is not final one way or another whether they will reunite or stay apart, I guess we have to decide that. Also leaves room for a part 2?

Definitely into my faves MeMe, well done.

This is incredible, filled with such emotion. Sad that some people can be destructive to one and other yet love each other so truly that it hurts deep within.

Suffocating one another
but breathing into each
others lives. And we were
told that our love would
one day kill us both, and
that hatred might be our
only savior.

I love how you expressed that thought in this stanza.. Being so "wrong" for one another and yet still so "right".. That you cannot picture life without this person, but being apart from one and other may be the only way either of you will prosper.

Then you go on into the next stanza with you two parting, yet the feelings still exist.. and you're both sharing loneliness together..
And although things weren't always ideal, and maybe you two were far from perfect for each other, when together, you felt whole.

Man, this is really such a beautiful piece. I've truly enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing!!
