Additional Notes:
The title is a Bulgarian slang word. I believe it means "one of many lovers." I am hoping it doesn't mean "one who HAS many lovers" or... "prostitute."

Dear Shannon, This poem is packed with emotions from beginning to end. An ex-lover leaning on someone, after being hurt by a new love. It's comprehendable and easy to read - from beginning to end - which enhances the read for me. It says, I can, and I can not help you - I want to, but it's not really good for me to do that, but I will, for tonight. Poetic - The second verse is one of my favorites. The cards are put on the table, It's a bad feeling he's having, it's romantic pain, but yes, it won't be gone by the morning - just different. I love the way you stated this thought - excellent! It has impact on the reader, the whole poem left an impact on me. It's most inspiring parts, are the truths, the raw emotions, and the fragility of the human spirit in pain. Very nicely done, sincerely, Denimari

This is almost like a reality check for the untamed heart! It is very open, indistinct, and yet at the same time it is full and overflowing. It smacks of pain, or worse, depression. The realization that nothing is 'best' and there is little that might be 'better'....harlots wrecking harmony.... I think I can say that there are a few lines that seem redundant, a little too airy perhaps. I promise) you’ll feel differently not great not even good and certainly not perfect........babbling? not the feeling > could you have used different analogies instead of repeating that this is 'NOT' ? True growth of love in this family I think! This is a nice artistic view. I really like this. Ellen
