Hi, AttnAttack
The length of your poem, if not for the small bouts of rhyme, reminded me of a romantic informal essay.
I think I would like to see it written more as a series, or broken down into a few smaller poems,
chronologically, each indicating this, but that's just me. I really like the last stanza so I will critique
that one in particular:
I climbed over the railing but I couldn’t take the leap -eliminate over
My heart was pounding, but my body was weak -and instead of but
And so I did the only thing that would rid me of you -no And
I took that heart shaped necklace and threw threw threw. -really quirky, clever & cute.
You have a fine prose to work with.
I hope the new day finds joy and peace
for you!
