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 poem really made me feel. To me, this speaks of diving into a relationship that you know from the start will do you no good. Yet you still need to know this person. Your first two lines are extremely brutal and beautiful and really drew me in. I also love your last line, which indicates that you truly dove into this person's life hoping to find a home. My few pieces of feedback are that in your lines 

"I had curiosity for you  
A poet"

I am unsure if the "A poet" line starts to speak about yourself or the other person. 

Also, in your lines comparing this person's mind to an ocean, I would have loved to hear more about why being in this person's mind hurt after your "Plucking, sifting, studying every coral of thought" line.

Overall though, I loved this poem. It made my heart hurt because I kept relating it to some relationships in my own life.

Beautiful. “Morbid Curiosity” “Deft pen on my heart” 
I find myself relating a lot to the feelings you expressed in this poem, thank you for sharing

I had a morbid curiosity

For the things that hurt

For the things that tore my heart asunder

And mended them with words


I had curiosity for you

A poet

Deft pen on my heart

Stringing me to your melody

Connecting, two strangers apart


I wanted to dive deep into the ocean of your mind

Plucking, sifting, studying every coral of thought

Dreaming one day

I'll make a home for me too
