Replaced

Exactly what it says.

He says
we mean the same to him.
He says
we fill the same space.

But I cannot begin to believe,
how quickly he could replace--

The laughter,
the tears,
the love,
and the fears,
from all those years…

He says
 we mean the same to him.
He says
 we fill the same space.

But I cannot begin to believe,
how quickly I was replaced.

Another experimental format...

You may have been experimenting, but what you've captured here is beyond reproach. The words evoke feeling from anyone who reads this; it's something that everyone can relate to whether they would like to admit it or not. It's hard to write about something so personal, so raw, but I think you've done a wonderful job and I wanted to thank you for sharing it..

Been there, Done that. It's irritating. Nice poem. I like to experiment with formats also.
Check out "Our World, Our Fantasy" whenever you get the time...

but yeah man, nighttime is the best because you don't have to worry about other people and you can do as you please. =]

OMG! I wonder if I KNOW you? You are talking about my life, this is kind of eerie! Good job as usual though. Keep them comming. Windy

The structure is interesting indeed and the use of repetition works well to clement emotion behind the work. What I mean to say is the inner focus is supported on either side by the use of repetition in structure and visually.

[Poetic Injustice]

Experimental or not ... it succeeded (imo) in getting the feelings across. I found the work well done. I found the sentiment heart-touching.

wow i love this. Something everyone can relate to whether they like it or not.

An effective experiment. The questions lie on both sides of the central "once shared" aspects. Thank you for sharing.
