Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that.

This resonated with me. It is a short poem, true. But it is full of sadness, of longing for something we lost and we can't have back. Being stuck with memories of somebody we once loved and not being able to let them go. I know how that feels.

I loved it. It hits a personal spot for me. And the fact that you managed to present a feeling that most wouldn’t be able to explain; the feeling that they’re still here even if they left a long while back, makes this poem even better. Good job.

The title fits very well with the emotions I get from the poem. Their are times when one longs to completely get loss in the memories of those no longer with you, but you must do so carefully. If you get lost within the waves of nostalgia, you'll find that person every where you go. For even if their gone, it's almost as if their presence forever surrounds you. You'd think that after weeks, months, or maybe even years your memories or feelings for them will fade. But, here you are. Reminiscing the moments you may never return to. Though from the beginning you always knew, such precious people could never be forgotten. Lovely poem!

I enjoyed this. Not long, but conveys a lot and it resonates in the part of my mind that feels loss and is haunted by ghost of my past.

  I carry you still. 
   Mostly in my dreams. 
  I hear your voice.      Feel your touch.       Feel the  sadness  that you   gave   to me - slowly carefully,   carelessly    
          all at once. 
    It’s been 6 years. You’re still here in me.                           
 I thought you’d be gone. 


               No. 


    I knew you’d never leave.
