An usual blend of melancholy and nostalgia in a well articulated piece of poetry bristling with emotions. Good rendition of words to utmost justice. Beautiful poem nicely penned from the inner recesses of the heart. Thanks for sharing Shelley. Please have a look at my poem POETIC MASTERPIECE.

Lot of hurt in this well written poem. Thanks for sharing.
