Hauntingly beautiful.

This is beautifully sad and beautifully written

I really can only echo the apt comments already given. Yes, the progression is well done. After the first italics, I had an idea where it was going, and as a poet I was eager to see how you were going to weave the rest.

Wonderful structure, Mike!

I have felt this progression. The journey continues beyond hollow. #BeyondXistence

This one reads like a trust broken and a heart emptied out by someone else. It hit close. Thank you for writing it.

This is so achingly true Mike. Great poem mate 👏

How the self is eroded. Strong write, Mike.

Love the progression in this. Nicely done, Mike.

It's so sad to have this happen, but it's the experience of many-- solid to shallow to hollow.

A sad, but truthful tale of how the world can break us through attrition. 🙏🌠👏

OooO
