Read Between the Lines

I said “I miss you”

and I know 

you think I meant physically

but what I really meant was

“I need you

This is killing me

I don’t understand you

Answer me

I’m scared

I feel so empty

And alone

Sorry about this.”

every tag seemed inadequate, so i left it tagless.

haha those tags always throw me off too. Not sure if anyone even searches with tags on here anyhow.

Anywho, this is quite clever on a few levels. One, it rhymes. Two, the red outlining "I miss you" contained even within the rhyme. 3. The content itself doesn't seem distorted given the format.

This very much fits into the "confessional" Plathian genre.

Though Plath did use imagery. Like a Prof once told me "one image per stanza".

But he was an old codger lol Good stuff.

Thanks for reading, sheesh, it's not everyday I get a review with the word "Plathian in it"
I don't know much (anything) about poetry genres, but maybe it will be something to look into later.
