Maybe it's not meant for us to understand everything written, or its intent. Maybe a poem will never be meant for certain people. Maybe what we don't understand today, we might understand tomorrow. Maybe we haven't arrived. Perhaps levels of intelligence, inability to comprehend or learn, might cause us not to understand the poet's intent, anyway. Maybe where you are I cannot go no matter how hard I try, maybe you will never be where I am. Even if we don't know the intent, those in position to critique in this forum, can ask. Perhaps we don't care to ask, recognizing the poem to be personal, therapeutic, or abstract, why should that stop us from offering help concerning metrics, phrasing, spelling, punctuation, form, etc?
there's always a better reason to love
