“limerence” is a poem revolving around concepts of loss, deception, and unrequited love. The saying, “there are plenty of fish in the sea,” is ultimately true. There are millions of people who crowd this earth, each with different traits, personalities, and attributes to offer. Throughout the poem, the narrator cannot help but be engulfed by the astonishing nature of the ocean – and the many fish in the sea – referring to the saying discussed previously. There may be plenty of fish in the sea, but none of them are the narrator’s first love, someone who does not feel the same way. Burning love quickly turns into a searing hatred, and the narrator attempts, desperately, to find someone who mimics the essence of the one they truly desire.
