This instantly evoked many thoughts in my mind...I loved it. I felt like the brevity in this piece really complimented the poem, for it evoked an instant response. Often, I'll see it where people use many words and thus weaken the emotional impact, but here you use few words, and it really enhances the poem. I loved the ambiguity of the last line...it really made me wonder. How is it her "illusion?" Does that mean that her pain happens because she perceives things incorrectly...that all she sees is "darkness and sorrow" and it thus blinds her from the true essence of life...it can mean so many things. Short poems like this, when done right, usually leave the reader thinking. Well done.

I feel like you should write one if those books that you choose the story. overtime I read your writing, I'm reminded of those books. usually your stories are short and I've always liked that, but the one liner is so good. i love the wording so much. It really offers some interpretation.

Thank you so much! I write several things, along with these, and I love them.
Is it really an illusion? ...I have felt this way more than I could count and a lot of the times, I wish it was just an 'illusion'..but for me it was pieces of my forgotten past. :( But ALONE? we never are. Not even in our darkness. :)
