9 Although it may seem like a terrible thing ,
10 I've found a solution to heal my agony.
11 I hide under my cold blanket, every single night,
12 To heal my burns from the scorching light.

13 It may hurt now,
14 It may hurt forever,
15 But as long as I've got this blanket,
16 I can lay here and think about us together.
I for one enjoy the story side of poetry most, so I appreciate this piece for what it is. I can relate to the emotions.

In my opinion, the simple wording you used is perfectly fine. I'm not an English expert and often feel like I need a dictionary every time I try to read poetry, so it was nice being able to understand clearly what you were trying to say here.
That said, using more descriptive terms other than "it" in a few places, such as 9, 13 and 14.
Additionally, although this is written from your point of view, "I, I've, my" are used a bit too generously. (5, 10-12, 15, 16) One thing I was told when I first started was to write for three months, without using the words "I, me, my, mine". I'm still very much a beginner, but that advice has helped me look at describing events or feelings in different ways.

Good luck to you!
