one night you screamed at me until I had a panic attack and kept screaming
̶I̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶,̶ ̶c̶a̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶b̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶a̶t̶c̶h̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶i̶l̶e̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶r̶e̶e̶l̶i̶n̶g̶
it felt out of nowhere, the tidal shift in you. you apologized. I forgave you.
̶i̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶i̶l̶l̶o̶w̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶r̶e̶d̶ ̶f̶l̶a̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶i̶m̶m̶e̶d̶i̶a̶t̶e̶l̶y̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶p̶a̶r̶a̶c̶h̶u̶t̶e̶ ̶ ̶
then I began to lose myself, body moving, mind sleep-walk dreaming

Very deep, I felt this one. Great job and I love how the options are crossed out in lieu of what was chosen. I hope this gets a top story spot.
Such unique and innovative style. Well done!
I really love your style! Amazing limerick! 😍
Oh that was full of emotion. And loved the crossed out lines, added such a great punch to the meaning. Great work!
Wow, Rachel! This one is so impactful! ❤️
