"Twin Flame Echo's"

"I saw the deeper you." - That's a very familiar experience to me as a twin flame, I feel it on my flash. Overall, though, I know you have your own feelings and that's alright, but there's missing compassion here. Only at the end it shows up. I say it as constructive criticism, I feel like on the internet lots of people hate their twin flame, and it ain't supposed to be this way, you know? Sure, it's hard, sure, it's a deep, intense experience, but we chose it. Our souls chose it. And if we're at it, we must do it with care. With compassion. With love. Just out of mere compassion and support, not too much support, not dependency, just gentle, caring support, we can change our twin flame's life. And anyone's really.

Congrats on your Top Story! I have to echo John Smith, this poem is the epitome of "Love is not enough," but I also have to say that you love yourself enough to know what you can handle or should handle, and for that I am happy for you!

Congrats on your top story!

The line that stuck in my chest was “Love is not enough.” It feels like the quiet truth this whole piece is circling, especially with you choosing your child and still holding love without acting on it. That tension between caring deeply and staying firm felt painfully real, not poetic-for-the-sake-of-it. I also kept thinking about how you repeat “the echoes must remain still” almost like you’re saying it to yourself as much as to them. When you wrote this, did it feel more like closure, or more like a promise you’re still trying to keep?

This is raw restraint written with courage. The way you choose stillness, healing, and your child over longing gives this piece real weight.

💖The Assonance in your vowels made this piece feel incredibly wispy and calming despite the heavy topic. It allowed me to experience the same peace you must have felt when you decided the "echo must remain still". To be rid of that weight is a gift. 💖Lines like "the longing must be still" and "I am not the one to heal you" hit with such force. I can feel your resilience and the authority over your autonomy through your powerful use of Anaphora: "You must not". By refusing to respond to those "half-word messages," you show that you value yourself more than someone else's craving.

I can really feel the strength in this. Holding boundaries takes courage.

Novel, the ending there.. explaining how you KNOW them. YOU SAW THEM. That just broke my heart for you. This is both beautifully written and simply tragic. The longing screams through your work. 💗💗
