A nice experiment. I may try something like this myself.
I think breaking the word "commitment" was a good choice; it helped symbolize the character's broken relationship. The brevity, line breaks, and ellipsis at the end really help the piece resonate. Though, I suggest wording the last line as "was never yours" because I think the word "never" adds more emphasis than "wasn't." Other than that, I've nothing to critique. Well done.
That was what I tried to convey through the breaking of that word. I'm glad you could relate the two.. read moreThat was what I tried to convey through the breaking of that word. I'm glad you could relate the two.
Hmm, again, your suggestion does have merit. Thank you for your critique as well as appreciating this experimental write, William :)
Some people view commitment as an obligation that restricts freedom of their actions. They are not ready for a true relationship … Loved the message conveyed in a brevity of strong poetic text! :-)
Ouch. Pure venom rolling off the tongue. Its incredible how a few words can have a direct hit to the core. Put up or shut up. Love the attitude. Nice job!
