Thank you so much for the compliment! You seem to get the idea totally. I don't really feel like this at the moment, it's just a feeling that I know very well and it just came to me somehow. It's more like a steady companion, so to say. Cheers!

This is so relatable. I really like the imagery of the wounds that hurt like hell but are only visible if we can express them or people take time to understand.

I don’t know if you are going through a post love right now and if you are you have my sympathy, but you certainly have a fantastic ability to express yourself and what is a basic human emotion beautifully.

I'm so happy you liked it, thank you! It's beautiful to see someone enjoy your own poetry. I will definitely continue writing, see you soon. Cheers!

The poetry was particularly enjoyable to read from title to structure to the end.The resemblance of the pain felt due to a past love with paper cuts is really inspiring.the agony of being alone in deep pain and no one notices it, believing that you are well, you having to explain yourself but for what? like who cares that much? that really completes the idea of wishing to scream till you have no voice.The final is what i liked the most, the image "Unbroken, yet cut open in clefts" is a really powerful one, i dont have the words to express how much i liked it. That is all i had to say, this is my interpretation and if i got anything wrong i would like to be corrected, it was a really enjoyable poem, keep writing!

Thank you so much! Glad you get the idea, too. Cheers! :)

EDIT: I really liked your poem on pain and the one about nightmares on your blog!

I love that you used the image of papercuts because they hurt much more than they look. I really liked the juxtaposition of "thin as paper, deep as oceans" and then "thin as paper," deep as our love". The agony is definitely felt and all of it is hidden below the surface. It makes me want to scream too.

Thin as paper.

Deep as oceans.

&amp;#x200B;

Why does it hurt so much?

I stand there bleeding,

Screaming, yet in vain.

Flaming sorrow, yet no one sees my pain.

&amp;#x200B;

Your last kiss, shredding my skin.

&amp;#x200B;

Thin as paper.

Deep as our love.

&amp;#x200B;

Tiny cuts, wholly unseen,

Searing since the day you left.

Invisible a love that might have been:

Unbroken, yet cut open in clefts.

&amp;#x200B;
