#ROOTED IN THE DARK

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."
Wonderful! @sick tapir has just progressed to level 2!

damn. this is really romantic and kinda sad yk
Maybe it’s meant to feel that way… beautiful, but never enough.
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

@old pumice
"Even when I knew
there was a way out,
I stayed,
rooted on the dark floor,
as if absence
were a kind of faith." 😭
I just woke up dont get tears in my eyes
but, anyway that was really beautiful. It was a Good, nice poem
