So great! Her voice sounds very much like Sarah Kaye. Beautiful poem.

[@WonderfullyWierd1]

"I hope I never dream of you so I am constantly discovering what I have" that made me cry

[@ThatBee0]

Wow, I got actual literal chills and tears in my eyes. This is so honest and beautiful.

The way her voice cracks on the word "hope" towards the end...The emotion pouring out of her is unbelievable.

Ooo, I love this idea that she puts across: "Familiar is a perennial weed harboured in my stomach."
It required me to look up the definition of perennial to understand fully, though: Lasting or active through the year or through many years. Lasting an indefinitely long time; enduring. Appearing again and again; recurrent.
