Description
In this empty roomWe stand together
In silence
In the darkness
Our shattered hearts
Bleeding together as one
While the blood runs
Through our cold skin
This is what love is like
Two broken people
Sharing their pain
Merging their empty souls
We forget about the world
Because we live in a world of our own
United as one
In an illusion of happiness

Seriously my most favorite piece of yours that you have ever written, ever. I absolutely love this one. Reading it, there's images of a story that begins to blossom, but the way you've written it leaves out just enough specifics that the story can be more personal to the person. "Open to interpretation" as the usual phrase always is... On basis on originality, the idea of love and the factors you've mentioned have been used before in other pieces but its not a common topic. And this was much more beautifully written rather sounding like this dreading, heart-breaking story. Your descriptive words, describing the scene, really helps with that. It's a lightening message almost, portrayed with words in which many have more so of a negative connotation. It does create the lovliest bittersweet feeling to this. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/m… " width="15" height="15" alt="

I never expected this poem to have such an impact. As usual, I just wrote what was going through my head. I guess the best is to write it out
And thanks.

Wow I was astonished! This brought chills up my spine! This explains what happens with two people, broken people, are brought together by love. Their wounds of the past shall be healed by working together. Another saying of "you make me feel whole" . This brings out my hopeless romantic side that makes me want to skng love songs and waltz. At first when I saw it I thought it seemed like a "Romeo and Juilet" theme of which two people would do anything for love. However, I was deeply inpressed and moved by this piece of poetry. I look forward to seeing more from you.

~~ This stopped me and made me think of how often we fill our lives with empty people who think they understand those of us that have gone through tremendous pain. I have chosen to rid my life of such people, why burden myself when I am burdened anyway with so much from the pain I have sufferred and the scars it has left behind, especially from lovers false. This speaks of two empty people, empty not of souls as stated above, but emptied because they have given all they have and received nothing in return and now they have found each other. This is an amazing work. You nailed it. ~~
always,
katti

Absolutely and irrevocably mediocre at best.
How can people full of pain have empty souls? Empty means there is nothing there. It's a lazy word to use.
I also find lack of punctuation, even in poetry, to be elementary.
An improvement in metaphorical language could do you wonders.

I just write what comes to me naturally. And most people seem to like it that way. But you're entitled to your own opnion.
And why don't you try to write some yourself? In a language that's not your first language?

"Illusion Of Happiness" That last line stands out among the whole poem. I would wonder why that is but at the same time I know the answer to it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We are never truly happy, are we?

Orson Welles stated "We are born alone, live alone, and die alone. Only through the illusion of friendship and love can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone". From my perspective, I can only hope and pray that happiness is found after one dies and moves on into the afterlife with the other souls. People suffer trying to find true happiness here. It's sad and horrible to watch them find a false dream. Temporary happiness exists but it'll fade sooner or later. I myself learned that the hard way.

Words of wisdom. And yet we keep chasing that dream.

Thanks.
Maybe "empty" wasn't the best word there. But it was what came to my head while writing so I decided to leave it there.
