What do you do when the person you are in love with doesn't love you back?

Leave. Always leave.

Your poem "Persephone", was lovely. It gave me goosebumps

Thank you! I enjoyed writing it xx

I have so much antipathy towards people who can’t keep promises like it’s all very well...

I have so much antipathy towards people who can’t keep promises like it’s all very well that you’ve apologised and I genuinely forgive you but I wouldn’t be able to trust you again even if I tried

Do you think you'll continue with the mythology poems? Persephone was amazing! Maybe one about Pandora or Artemis or maybe even Orpheus? Thanks and I love your writing!!

Thank you so much!!! And Orpheus sounds amazing, I wonder how I could twist that! and you, my darling, have just given me a fabulous idea.

What I noticed about you while reading your work is that you have love for verb "peeling" and lots of things happen at 3 AM. You are so good.

In my small lil head I think life starts at 3AM and I think everyone should peel themselves regularly. Walk around nerves outwards.

I absolutely love your Persephone poem. I have always loved that myth and have written countless poems and things about it. Of course, you hit it right on the head. I just love it.

Thank you so much! I absolutely love rewriting myths and stories and so on. That’s why Samson and Delilah is one of my favourites, and I think maybe I’ll want to do a whole collection of those someday x
