Those last few lines just about punched me in the stomach. How awful! I've definitely definitely definitely felt this feeling before! It's the most awkward thing and so difficult to describe, just because you simply don't know what to do with yourself. You, however, seriously can work with words. I thought this poem was simple but also elegant, and it flowed really incredibly well. The rhymes made me want to read it out loud just so the words could tumble off my tongue, but I couldn't because technically I'm supposed to be sleeping. Nonetheless, really cool. The vocab didn't seem out-of-place with this piece, which is awesome that you managed to keep that under control. Sometimes writers use too big of a word for a situation. Like if I just randomly said "consternation" or something. It honestly just fills me with consternation. Whatever, I'm being dumb now. AnyANYway, cool poem. It was quite chilling. Also, I saw your favorite quote on your page. I absolutely love it.
