I like the flow of this but it feels like the start of something..... like there is more to come?
I would almost add a complete change of pace, an ending perhaps, but thats just my thought.... It is always a compliment when you inspire other writers to write, so well done honey.
"For then you came....
You tore at me until I broke,
Lashed at my heart and made it choke.
In your sodden arms I cried,
....You squeezed at me until I died".
I agree with Manoosh. The lines are so short that, if combined together, they would only create one stanza. Another thing that throws the poem off balance is the abrupt change in rhyme scheme at the end. All things considered, I think you had a spark of creativity that quickly dimmed. I think it warrants another day in the light. Keep shining!
