Strangers

By 10 Forty Three

Strangers, I have come to know.
These
                                                                   strangers,
I have come to love.
They
                                                                         are
there for me when
                                                                         my
own
                                                                       family
treats me like a shadow
when I'm
                                                                          in
need of a mere presence.
These strangers and I,
live together in
                                                                   darkness.

Excellent structuring. I will make sure to litter comments on your works more often. I have been dissecting your profile and you are a great writer. Great job on this one manipulating the atmosphere of the poem to get a message across.

Thank you, SilenttPerception. I appreciate the kind words.
A former member wrote: oooh i liked it very much. Though the format annoyed me but that's just because my eyes does funyn things when it has to move fast. It actually does it great justice (the format that is, not my eyes :P) just makes it hard for my eyes to read -_- well done though, i loved it.
A former member wrote: The format is a really nice added touch, very sad none the less. Howdi stranger. I really love your profile description. Always was drawn to 11:05 am myself. Strange.
