You did

You fired the fireplace​ inside,

Which no one did,

You warmed my heart,

Which no one did,

But soon, you spread it's​ smoke all around,

Which no one did,

You darkened my soul,

Which again no one did.

Amazing use of words. You said everything needed in the short poem. Love make us feel so damn alive and can make us know great sadness. Thank you Shasha for sharing the amazing poetry.

I really like the general idea behind the poem. The language is fine. The metaphors are rather good. I would have preferred it if you had not added an "again" in the last line. That kind of makes the language clumsy, you see. But this is overall a great work.

[Shasha]

I put "again" to show the end. Thank you very much for the review!

You’re not weak for slipping into familiar patterns, you’re human. But ultimately, your happiness is in your hands. You deserve a love that exists on one entity of happiness, not on both misery and ecstasy. And you should never settle for less than you deserve. Great poetic interpretation of the dualities in a bitter sweet relationship!

[Shasha]

Yes, that's true! Thank you very much! I am pleased that you liked it!!!
