This is so good, the deep rooted meaning of the poem is amazing.

In the last stanza id personally suggest instead of "i stayed, rooted on the dark floor", I would evoke stronger emotions by using stronger language -

"I knew the way out,
a door I could have shouldered open.
But I turned from its frame,
and chose instead to learn the dark by heart—
to trace the familiar bruise of you,
and call the ache my home."

I loved the last poem I read of yours and I love this one. As if showing you're willing to wait and reach and long for something...it's a more powerful show of devotion. And again with the strong semantic field: 'want', 'chasing', 'searching', 'ache', 'long for', 'reach', 'faith'. Really makes the poem feel cohesive

"Even when I knew
there was a way out,
I stayed,
rooted on the dark floor,
as if absence
were a kind of faith." 😭

this is absolutely beautiful. i love the yearning in these lines and quiet resignation that even if you knew how to stop feeling all this you would not move

great work
