hm...I like all the parentheses in the poem. Sugar and sweetness are some of those overused adjective, but sometimes it's worth it to try and rewrite the sayings...I like the line "(Like I would so willing drown in your illusory eyes)". The part about bottles- assuming glass- don't splinter, they shatter, though splintering works better for "like heartbreak does". And I really liked the "But the shards are welcome/ (Almost as much as you are)/ Because they pierce my soul/ (Almost as much as you do)"You might want to look over the last lines again, because I don't think that metaphor makes sense. -Seeing as how sugar and water do mix, and if you're drownining in their eyes, that kind of makes me think that they are the water in the relationship and you the sugar, except you've been calling him/her honey and sugar the entire time. I mean, the lines sound good on their own, but they clash too much together.

Wow. Thats what comes out. I actually said it out-loud too. This is a sticky-sweet, sad, and pretty poem, I don't want to ruin its beauty with my reviews.

This is shamful if it is true. *tuts* Interesting and deep. This was really good. And so well written you are getting really dark though. Email soon.

Sincerely,

Aw baby doll- I've been meaning to review this for ages, and forgot. Baby dol! This is so nice and "sticky" I think it's the sweetness of it. It's deliciously wrapped in descrition and verse and playful aromatics. Ugh thinking of chocolate lol!I know the feeling this is going through and I know who it's about. It's really...hard to explain. I like the bracket comments they add a bit more to the poem. It's really good though I love it."A Shelf of unfinished bottles...(You were SO drunk, sugar.) It's the repetition of Sugar that makes me adore this because it's almost as if you're trying to justify his actions.I don't know what else to say really other than the last line works perfectly...Love and huggles, Autumn x

No that last line was beautiful! It's so strong. Love all the phrases in brackets, works wonderfully.

I love this. A lot. This is EXACTLY how I felt yesterday.

Don't change any of it. Poems are so much better when they're left raw.

Keep writing.

Whoa! The emotions! Such excellent writing..I don't know how to CC this.

"They smash to the ground and splinterAround us (Like heartbreak doesLike I’m longing to do)"

Where did you get the inspiration? There are so many similar poems like this on fp, but wow, you managed to come up with one startlingly original. Very good writing!

like the comparison/similarity between sugar and alcohol, and the idea of heartbreak being like splintering...sounds perfect. The tone reflects a kind of confusion and hurt, and it's lovely
