    Faded-

    *I'd put the ... after faded instead of a period. It gives the feeling of a pause and I think that would be a better way of opening your poem.*

    he's slipping away.
    out of sight, out of mind.
    --guess that saying
    was always true--

    *I really like how you worded this part. Very clever*

    What's happening
    ..to me?
    ..to our love?
    ..friendship?

    *At the end I would say "..to our friendship" that way you have a pattern going and the flow isn't disturbed*

    Crystals splatter-
    no one will ever notice
    [fangs crave the-
    heartbeat]

    *I wouldn't break that last line in two like that. I would make it one line and take the dash out. I think this part was worded very nicely. "Crystals splatter" that's brillant. *

    You never could understand,
    and I'm tired of explaining.

    *I like this part, it seem like and important part of the poem and I like that it's so simple.*

    Exhaustion has taken-

    *I wouldn't put a dash here, i don't see a reason for it *

    over my whole being.
    ..i can't hold on.

    *I can really relate to what you're saying here. I get like that sometimes and it's a hard thing to come back from*

    Don't tell me different.

    *I think "differently" would sound better here*

    Lying is a sin-
    Hypocrite much?

    *This part was funny. I ccan imagine you saying that to someone. I think it's a nice personal touch*

    Don't-
    give up on us.

    *I would change this part to

    "Don't....
    let us fall down"

    That way it goes with the ending more. Other than that I like what you're saying*

    Someone needs to hold on.

    *I think you did a good job with this. A sad piece indeed, one I can really relate to. Keep it up hun :) Nik*
