Re: Slip Away

I really liked this poem. My favorite line was: I remember silhouettes in shades of darkened grays. Honestly I really liked the openening stanza and the fourth one as well. Overall I get a sense of longing and regret. As if you let this person slip through your fingers. It seems by the last stanza that your heart was broken by this person. However in earlier lines it's as if you had done the breaking. Perhaps by pushing away it broke her heart and then she pushed you away. That is basically what I read from this poem. Overall very well written. My favorite so far.
