In this moment
My soul holds breathless
Grasping at your
Wounds
Dry and desolate
Your alphabet speaks
And I'm left to
Assume
These fault lines
That crack, extend
To your smile
And not a moment too
Soon
So, alone is to the left
While I watch the right
And empty are the sounds in this
Room
First: I love the second line "my soul holds breathless" I don't know what is so romantically beautiful about that line but it stuck when I read it. I feel like maybe you ended this one too soon though. I feel like you could extend it and keep going, make it a little longer. Just a suggestion, something I saw, other than that I loved this poem. Seriously, keep up the good work. I love reading your pieces. :)

Thank you again for reading and reviewing
Very good feelings expression and smoothness. Well done.

For some reason, this seemed a little confusing to me.
Watch what to the right?
What is the right?
