"They stilled my heart and stopped me learning to love him."

The "extra extension" gives me the second-hand yucks. I'm very much with the speaker in this poem.

Fank you my dear! I quite like it too, editors don’t though. Their loss.

Their loss indeed, I am happy that we get to read it, but sad that editors can’t see it’s brilliance!!
