This hit home for me. It: This hit home for me. It brought me back in time to the first time I felt real love I was was getting ready for a date and brushing my hair in the mirror I heard the sound of thier very familiar sound of thier vehicle and looked at my face to see a smile stretching across the glass and I knew I was in love...

When love turns to PTSD. I: When love turns to PTSD. I get it.   Your running metaphor was a grenade to the heart and it exploded into devastatingly brilliant lines. At the end, there was a hush, an eloquent silence, that hovered as I took in the impact of that last word "alone". A stoke of genius to isolate that last line and imbue it with so much weariness, finality and significance.    Amazing image work. Remarkable.

This poem was difficult to: This poem was difficult to read---not because of any flaw, but because of the verbal skill with which you deploy your words.  Your extended metaphor of warfare (for some reason, I kept thinking of images from WWI) is handled with exquisite skill, and thus, due to that skill, the poem is not at all easy to read.  That kind of difficulty is not a flaw; it is often a sign of a high degree of poetic art.

S74rw4rd commented on: MY FAITH IS RENEWED by beaconzbard 48 weeks 4 days ago
This is another excellent: This is another excellent testimony yo the Faith; and I applaud your work in this series.  Admittedly, I found the seventh line to be difficult; using the contraction "You'd" in order to achieve a rhyme compliance with the sixth line seems like a stumbling block.  Other than that, this is a very excellent poem.
