SIMPLE

A well thought out plan gone awry

SIMPLE

 

I want you.  I will have you.  I will share you.  I will give you back.

Simple.

You wanted me.  You were intrigued by me. You put the effort in.  

You asked the deep probing questions.

You shared the deepest parts of your soul.

I got wrapped up in you, around you, inside of you.

Now it’s time to let you go.

Not so simple.

Here, the metaphor's utter lost in her own mazes which having her heart indulged deep in the shades of love. Love's way easy to beloved with but not so "easiest" to let it go or let oneself walk off its shades it brings to very life, cos ev'n an every singular moment you're in with love is what that makes memories, servin' you the real nice "simplicity" - the majesty - one joy - the rejoice - of life through its infatuated vibes so it's worth saying, it's not so simple to let it go ... cos, as far as I believe, it's never been so simplest to forget one distant past spent ov'r the nights, together under the same roof, with the sharing of love-pies. Very deep and evocative poetry you paint on words. Great job!

simple and precise to get your point through, great write!

I feel the willing and sharing in this great write...:)

Nicely done. The repetition sets the piece up and paints just enough to explain but leaves enough unsaid to let the reader make up his/her own mind about the backstory.

Very concise in a way and efficient to. There seems to be a lot left out but then once a piece is out it's up to the reader I suppose. One of the marvels of poetry is that the reader is free to fill in his or her own thought, feelings etc-

it seems to be black and white at first, but then, there is that gray area that catches us napping...

and we end up trying to let go when love goes bad and that is never so simple..

this has a straightforwardness to it...that is refreshing...and the phrasing is smart and pointed.
