I Stole For You

[Cthonian]

I am not great at critique but I wanted to try to suggest a few things.

I like the pathos in the poem. There's an element of awkward lovesickness and I like there's more mention of the neighbour than anyone else. I quite like the idea of not mentioning the neighbour until the end. Very quick rewrite to describe what I mean:

I stole roses from the garden,
but you threw them all away.
Now I am left broken-hearted -
neighbour hasn't talked today.

That's a very wonky example but I hope you get what I mean. Thanks for the read.
