Renewable Resource

I think that this poem was very true. love is not a renewable resource. I wish it was but the truth is its not

Judging comment:

"This is one of the most emotional and heartbreaking pieces I've read in a long time. My thought automatically takes me to the subject experiencing a death, and while I've never experienced it in this sense, I felt overwhelming guilt and grief. The images of wearing the shirt and ciggarette butts just hurts to read. It really reminded me a lot of the movie PS I Love You. I really like the structure here as well.. usually when you get so into detail in the emotional side of a poem, you can lose the poetic devices, which is definitely not the case here. The ending here is what really solidifies the pain for me. So many people propose, every single day.. but it'll never hold the same meaning here. How could it? What a beautiful poem!"

Your literary works are without a doubt high quality. Inspiring and I keep coming back for more.

Great opening. I find it appealing when a poem is opened up with an analogy as it shows a writer's creativity and kind of imagination. It also gives us a nice image in our heads as most writers use concrete imagery. It's probably my favorite part of the poem too. Second stanza shows the grief and you know the gravity of how much you love someone when you can't go one easily without them. I'm not sure if the ending was on purpose, written directly to the point, abandoning the imagery you started off with. Maybe that's why you've separated it? The first time I read this, I didn't quite like it because the message is common or maybe it's because I've heard it too many times before, but as I read it over and over again, it seemed apt and a good conclusion, a good decline from the "will you marry me" climax, which was extremely heartbreaking. Enjoyed this, in all, Hannah. Continue writing! x

I feel myself wanting so much more of this poem, how dare you end it! :P

I seriously loved this. The tone obviously heartbreaking, and it makes me wonder whether this person left you by choice or accident (death?). I would assume by death because you still have their things. It breaks, breaks, breaks my heart. I can't even imagine. I don't think this is something you've gone through, but you've pulled emotion and images in a really incredible way (as always).

I really love this poem!!

Wow Hannah! This is incredible! I must say I loved this piece for the profound message it holds. The imagery is immensely lovable and I loved the end, very true!

Just loved this!!!!

Keep writing:)
