Nice poem Nika short and simple...

This is an unusual poem. The two quatrains balance each other in terms of structure, but the tones are very different. Them first one - objective, explanatory; the second one revealing a rift between friends, and a slow-burn in the narrator. It hides genuine anger. That last passage - WATCHING HER TAKE THE NIGHT AWAY - is so filled with resentment, which isn't stated but felt acutely. You don't identify the relationship between the parties, but the two of them are heading for a confrontation. The building resentment really got to me!

Sweet. Selfless acts are beauty. Nice poem. Thanks for sharing.
