All Comments on 'It is like this'

I can’t figure out if this is an allegory for someone no longer in love with someone who still loves him. If it is, the poem would’ve have been very good IMHO with just the first two stanzas. The circling sharks and driftwood didn’t connect with me.

I hope to read more of your work.

I was really unsure if I liked the third stanza either, so thanks for your feedback!

I hope this clatifies, if clarification is desired : the woman in the poem is in love with someone she can't have, a third person who is not the narrator.
