I thoroughly enjoyed reading and contemplating your poem. Nice surprise that you wrote poems too.
The two intro lines entice the reader to read on.
In another life we would have made it,
another time you would have stayed.
Love the contrast in this sentence
The best of you brought out the worst in me
And then of course as everybody said that very striking end
Under the pressure of a million strikes
a diamond heart turned to coal.
Thank you for sharing. 🙂
I am glad that people actually read these, as mostly I write poetry for myself - as I think that is the way it should be. However, I think that because of this, there is a human connection through it that ties people together, it is relatable at the most personal of levels, even though we might not know each other at all.
Thanks for stopping by, as always :)
