this is a nice poem about how the narrator wants someone and don't know/don't care. and they care about the narrator but their intentions are ambigous, the narrator doesn't know what they think of the narrator? the poem has a clear narrative flow and i like how you express the speakers uncertainty and hopelessness and hopefulness at the same time- which is a very real emotion. i relate to this poem on a deeply personal level.
these are my favourite lines. possibly because this is my exact situation.Some days, I fall asleep, smiling because you told me to sleep well first
Others, I fall asleep worrying about whether I said something weird or not
Some days, I wake up and see that you texted me after I fell asleep
Others, I see that you haven't responded and you're probably asleep
i think the repetition of "somedays" and "others" make the poem feel a bit repetitive. i understand that it is intentional and like the two sided ness of the situation that you're trying to express but feel like it could be expressed better?
but that's just my opinion. thanks for sharing this poem!
