Perspectives Comments

really enjoyed this poem. It's raw and written from a deep place where emotions are born. It is uninhibited. Powerful. A great write straight from the heart.10 There is one line that (unlike the rest) seems a bit insincere to me. The third line from last says 'But I grieve for you the most' To me the poem doesn't read that way. You don't seem to grieve this person at all. If anything you almost want to see them suffer because of this lack of closure. You want them to feel as bad or worse than it made you feel. This is a perfectly natural response to (the poem topic) betrayal. In full honesty, do you really grieve For this person? Have sympathy for them thinking about when this truth comes back to haunt them? Or do you grieve Because of this person? And so you want them to feel the same pain they caused you?
