Using Elizabeth 1 as a starting point, write a short poem that captures the internal complexity of your own emotional state in a relationship. Try out the texture of inner conflict that Elizabeth uses to “nail” the shifts in her own feeling.
How am I supposed to cling on while letting you go?
How am I supposed to forget when it’s you I know?
How am I supposed to love when you cause me pain?
How am I supposed to stop this from happening again?
We are told to love.
We are told to care.
I will still do all of the above
Even with the caused pain you do or don’t spare.
Do I keep you in my world or do I start a new one?
How long do we keep going until one of us think it’s done?
I try to be the best person I can be.
But it’s you who brings out the worst in me.
I’m not even sure if I can find the strength to let you go
when I’ve been weakened by your emotional blow.
But I’ll do what I must before this worsens.
I would rather have no pain and be the better person.
Silvano Pagano 
This poem has an organic rhythm that works really well, capturing the emotional see-saw. Good work Silvano
