too short, for me. feelings are usually expressed better in many textures of vocabulary, anger, surprise,etc all these can be combined to form something great.
we do hide our feelings in a box. my job is to get them out and let people healm faster. interesting setup to a powerful ending that you slam the poem shut with....
feeling that tough touch with the shell of a relationship now gone hermit crab is the meaning of it all. least that's my perspective. enjoyed it, short but to the point and meaningful. that's powerful. thnx 4 the RR, it's definitely a hit with me.
"I saw myself shot" was a great line, for often the pain in our lives is so deep that we feel separated, out of body. The self-abuse in the next line was beautiful. At first I found the poem too short, but I understand the effect, and I tend to ramble too much in my writing from time to time. Sometimes in the battlefield of art it's better to be a sniper than a machine-gun-wielding foot soldier, spraying bullets everywhere rather than hitting with one fell swoop of precision.
Great job! Bravo.
