I liked the contrast between cold and burn (which I interpret to be a shift in the relationshp). I like the question mark ending Line 5 to show indecision and turmoil. The best line in it for me is "To a garden where we can watch innocence burn." Initially the only things that were a little jarring as I read it were: Line 13 It should be you and me, not you and I--if you break usage for a rhyme it will come off more forced...this could easily be fixed by doing something like this: Til all that's left is you and me If you asked the question, I wouldn't see The final line, walk out the door is a little overused and cliched. I worried about this initially breaking your garden imagery, but upon further reflection I think it's ok. I would think about substituting "close the door" for walk out the door, or changing the last phrase to something entirely different. This is a good poem about getting involved with someone, loosing yourself in a sexual relationship, and feeling parts of yourself slipping away. |
