Artist's Comments

"Love is the strongest emotion any creature can feel except for hate, but hate can't hurt you. Only love can break a heart into so many pieces."

:bulletblack::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow:

If you think this is for you, it probably isn't. And if you think this isn't for you, it probably is. And whatever you think it's about, it's not. Read it anyways, because maybe it's true for more things than I wrote it to be.

Again, not really fiction.

I apologize for the categorization: it was the closest I could come for whatever this is.

I could fill in a couple peoples' names in that top line, I bet.

This is good. That's a solid comment for me right now. I'm in an odd mood, but really, this is so good. Please do more of these. *goes to read it again*

I actually think that that's a surprisingly clever place to sort this work. "Visual poetry"..... I get it!

And by the way. This is a beautiful piece because despite the vague references to everything and nothing all at once, each line can be twisted to fit a situation and a place you are. It's beautiful and it's indeed visual poetry if ever i came across it.

See, this is the beauty of writing. When done properly, every single reader, no matter where they come from or what they've been through, can relate.

God, I love the written word.

-patpat- It's quite alright. Maybe I will--it felt good to write. But writing neatly is tiring for me. XD

I love your handwriting. :heart:

this is beautiful; so poignant and full of emotion, and I must say that you have put into words what I have not been able to so many times before, so kudos for that. :] :hug:

Haha, thank you! Originally I didn't want to put it there because it's not really poetry, but I'm glad you think it works.

Yes, I wrote it that way because there really is one person this is addressed to, I just don't want them to know it right away. And there's nothing like a vague, impossible piece of writing to keep you thinking. ;)

Writing is a beautiful thing because of this. Good writing will reach everyone, and I'm proud that you believe this fits so many things. Thank you, very much. <3

Haha, usually it isn't even /half/ this neat. I really put some effort into it. XD

I dunno. I'm angry and scared and confused and I knew that if I tried to type it, I'd just keep deleting and deleting and it would never come out onto paper. With handwriting, there's no backspace. So I just spit it all out and in the end, it sounds very profound. XD

Thank you. :heart:

I couldn't write neatly to save my life. I write words, not letters, if that makes sense. They don't look like anything but the idea of a string of letters.

I love it too. It's the greatest friend.

All the best.
