A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION OF FEELINGS AND LANGUAGE ESPECIALLY IN THE SECOND STANZA! THE MESSAGE THAT IT GIVES ME IS THAT WE MUST NEVER LET OUR DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS MAR THE BEAUTY OF OUR PRESENT AND THAT IT IS NEVER TO BE OVERLOOKED BUT TO BE ENJOYED.

Different people read poetry differently. I like this poem, which is apparently about a broken relationship, in which one party was blind-sided, and she is now trying to find her way back. A bit too melodramatic and also a little too pessimistic at the end! However, everyone has own style. Pay no attention to hecklers, if any. On second thoughts, DO keep track of them and pay them all back (and then some) in their own currency, when THEY get around to writing theirs! Yeah!

Or too busy stifling my screams
In our daily rituals

These lines are expressive of the nature of many women`s lives.Hopefully, they will wake up and live their lives bravely rather than give up, unable to recognise the chances that life may offer, without sinking further into despair as this poem seems to suggest.
