Hello Erin and welcome to the site.

A great first post from you here with a difficult rhyme structure (abab) - always hard to achieve but you have done it well here.
Well done and keep writing,
Ben

Hello Erin,

Welcome to P&Q's. It is always nice to see new members. As Ben says, a poem with rhyme and a structure that challenges for this sad story to be told.

Trying to figure out the actions of someone that was once so close is difficult. Sometimes it is best to lick wounds for a while, brush off the hurt by writing it down and you'll soon realise that there is more to life than accepting unrequited love.

All the best.

Michael
