RE: I forgot that you left [poetry]

Wow - this is biting stuff. I hope, if the poem refers to someone real, that they didn't cause you too much suffering. I certainly know what it's like, when someone ultimately unloving dies, to be unsure of how to feel about it.

The last two lines really sealed the deal for me, plus your art work is honestly awesome and adds a lot to the overall effect.

Sort:  

I would describe my role as majority spectator, as I have been lucky enough to escape playing any major role in the "situations" I have found myself in, on the journey to adulthood "freedom". Partly I wish that this is how the ones who are affected by it the most could realize things sooner, I imagine this to be the sort of thought process they inevitably end up following.

I personally have no doubts on how I would feel over someone's death, especially those who do harm, although written from experience I feel I had a better vantage point due to having been fortunate enough to maintain "emotional distance" or a level of apathy.

Thank you for your kind words, I would say I am glad you found it relatable but on such a topic I think it would be the wrong phrase. I will instead I am really glad you like my artwork, and feel free to use it if you find a use, it might be a bit too specific :)
