Poem: Phantom Pains
Sometimes I still feel the pain. I reach out to the space in my chest where you were once attached, it was just phantom pains. A part of me still believes that. A part of you remains with me deep in the depths of my heart that I purposely chose to leave behind no matter how far we were apart. So I hope you enjoyed this poem. And the inspiration of this poem mainly came from this medical phenomenon that's known as the phantom limb syndrome

Candy. Your poem was really deep. I never knew that about getting an amputation. Still feeling the sensations in the body parts after cutting off the limb? Wow. They say you learn something new every day, right? Also, I can relate when you say healing from letting go, explaining it in two totally different ways, but yet it's the same in some way. A lot of people don't think like that. I really appreciate your poem. Can't wait to write my first one
Hello, Lolita. Thank you for thinking I rock. You're right. I most definitely do rock. I have to take ownership of my own awesomeness. And I'm really looking forward to your first poem as well. You know what? Just take a paper and pen or, like, notes wherever you want to write and just start writing. I'm sure the words will flow out and before you know it, going to have a masterpiece

Please. This is an amazing poem and it really resonates within me. It is something that is very personal also because I happen to observe the experience undergone by my husband. So my husband friend had lost a part of his thumb maybe ten to 15 years back and he used to have this phantom pain he used to feel. He told me that he used to feel that part of that the finger was still, thumb was still attached
And that also for the fact that my words, like my poetry or even the words that I speak, could convey that that's meaningful for me. So thank you so much, and I really appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful weekend
