This poem was incredible to read, Yoshi! So grateful I discovered this treasure. Let's get right into the review!!
i can feel it, you’ve laid this trap for me
(because everything is about me, isn’t it?)
i’m enticed by the sweet honey you’ve left in your wake–
that i gobble up savagely.
(anything for you)
I picture this scene of this tap laid out, perhaps even a sticky trap used for insects, like honey and glue and other things like that. The sweetness is what attracts the insects, or perhaps the sweetness of a persons personality attracts you, because they are kind and caring... or at least they seem to be. But then you get stuck, unable to leave or move, unless they decide to spare you. I loved this metaphor so much! And the brackets make it so much better too.
You describe this inviting smile. Maybe it is what makes you decide to stay, but everytime you are hurt, it is that same smile over and over. People hurt us and use the same tactics to make us stay, because they are trying their best, right? And being pushed away if just being playful too, right? Your words are beautiful
I love how you finished this with the 'I will find you' statement. A search for someone you already know. What lovely poetry
Keep writing! =)
Your friend,
Ellie
