I know how it feels to be loved

I don't know how to feel since

you walked out of my life

Taking back your name

Denying me

A goodbye

    To me it means getting to know self.

    I love how this poem leaves me hanging, like the literary equivalent of stepping into thin air. Great example of art where the scaffolding is invisible. I felt this like a punch in the gut. Simply brilliant, Kelli!

  • That was so freaking relatable! I loved it!

  • Yeah it is a kind of learning feelings, so thanks teacher!

    I like the way this one sort of "hangs" at the end. Nice job, Kelli!
