Tarnished Reflections

If there were room in your heart for me, Would things be moved around to see Exactly where my place might be? Would there be a rearrangement, A test of sorts or period of commitment? Could I replace your deep resentment? There once was room in your heart for me, Reflections of all the love you would need, Tarnished reflections you now want freed. March 30, 2018

I enjoyed seeing your interpretation of the theme, Susan. Your poem reflects the sad feelings of someone rejected.

Susan, IMO in order for a person to write a good poem on any subject first and foremost they must know something about it. I believe this poem comes from experience because it reads as if it has come from your heart. Great writing!

Ahhh thank you! I know we all experience emotional pain, some seem to 'handle' it better than others. Writing sure helps and knowing someone 'gets it' definitely helps too.
