This hits like a mirror with breath still on it. The form, the flow, the ache. God, I feel it. The way you built this, line by line, mimicking the breath held and the shudder. Thank you for putting voice to that hunger. I see you in this. 💜
Thank you. I am glad my words connected with you. It’s humbling to think my jumble of thoughts can help or inspire another. I hope your journey continues with greater serenity.
This flows with the ache beautifully, the hunger is palpable. What struck me is how it sits entirely in that ache without reaching for something beyond it—almost like holding breath in the middle of wanting. It made me wonder if that ravenousness is also pointing to something deeper than what we think we’re missing. Maybe what we’re actually craving isn’t ‘more’ but an end to craving itself. Thank you for putting words to that rawness—it made me pause.
I hadn’t pondered that deeper aspect. Are we looking to be filled or to be fulfilled? That is much deeper philosophical question. Not the ‘how’ do I fill the ache. But ‘why’ do I have this ache.
This hit me deep. There’s something powerful about the way you let the ache exist without trying to resolve it just letting it breathe, letting it be. I felt the weight in every line. Thank you for writing with this kind of honesty. It matters. 🖤
I was uncertain about the way I had simply left the ache hanging. It felt honest to me on an emotional level - as we humans rarely feel satiated on all levels.
On a poetic structure side my rational brain kept saying “But it doesn’t resolve!”
I am glad I listened to my heart. Your comment helps greatly to resolve my internal dissonance.

Thank you. I wrote this after a romance ended badly. Such is life!
At least it spawned a beautiful poem.
I appreciate your reading and seeing my poetic intentions. I often think I over design my stanza structures. Like a child using words as Lego.
Oh, I think it's absolutely brilliant. Next-level crafting when you can infuse that much meaning into placement. Honestly humbling.
I needed this today. You always seem to have the words I'm looking for to pull myself out of my feelings.

I want to know too...
how
do you silence
this gnawing
want
Here I was hoping someone held the answer.
🤣
I guess we keep looking for what we are missing.
Thank you for reading and leaving a comment. Hearing from others doesn’t silence the gnawing but it helps!

Thank you for reading and making me think.
It shifts everything, doesn’t it? When the ‘why’ gets space, the ache feels different. Thank you for staying with the question, Istvan! 🙏
