Discussion of "everyday i miss you." by olive_tree

I am not a poem person. That said, I like this one. It's simple. It tells a story. It is bittersweet, stark, emotive. I like how gender isn't implied. It's simplicity makes it slightly more profound, in my eyes.

Love the title, and how it coincides with the last line. Critiques:
*
The Bolds. The brevity of the lines already emphasizes the content. I think if you want to draw attention to lines special to you, use italics and emphasize less lines. The poignancy is lost if you do it too much.
*
Commas. This may be nitpicky, but your poem only contains two. You might consider taking them out and just breaking those lines into pairs.
*
Not sure I like the longer lines which are questions. The emotions in these questions are already apparent throughout the piece. The repetition takes away from the profound sense of the shorter lines.
