Those things one writes and wishes no one relates to. Thanks, Jordan.

"colorless caverns of bone, ready to be your domain." this whole thing is good, but i found this specific image sticking with me. this felt like being put in chamber of the damned (poet. who yearns. to their demise.) great work!

Your rhymes are definitely scheming and they are bold and beautiful... You're such an amazing poet

captures it distinctly, painful lessons. surrendering self to not be alone, yet what remains is an empty shell incapable, of love.

Wow, this poem did something to me I still don't know how to describe.

crevices made through my skin;

yours if you choose to remain.

Hello Brooklyn,

there is so much power in so few words here. You know, I think, how much I respect and admire this in poetry, in all forms of literature. You are a master at it.

"This has completely pierced my soul today, Brooklyn! 🖤✨ 'Hollowing' is such a profoundly beautiful yet heartbreaking way to describe the raw reality of emptying ourselves out just to keep someone close.

Your lines about the spaces voided in vain hit so incredibly deep. A stunning, hauntingly accurate masterpiece—thank you for sharing this raw truth! 🩷✍️🌌"

The imagery of 'colorless caverns of bone ready to be your domain' is purely brilliant and incredibly powerful. You have a phenomenal gift for putting that painful, fragile human experience of self-destruction for the sake of company into such perfect words.

Simply magnificent! xxx 🩷✨"

Love 🩷 💕 ❤️ you xxx
