It's casually metered using choice phrases that depict loss (or lack) of love. In forthright terms
the reader is engaged empathetically with your character. Very compelling. At all costs, do not repeat prepositions eg. 'for' I hope this is helpful (and that you won't find that my advice is not taken by myself) cool smile

Thanks mate, for the read and comments. It's nice to see someone being useful to someone. The point about 'for' is taken.

You are most welcome, my new friend. And hopefully, you won't see too many errors in my posted work. (though, the longer I look, more seem to appear) I also posted something for critique, but not poetry. thanks for taking the advice with a grain of salt LOL cool smile

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
