Great poem...
Last line...superb

This poem was decent but it was exactly like every other poem I've read in its category. Can't tell you how many times I've read "Crimson tears" in these dark/sad poems. Some of your words used don't even rhyme together like puppets/carpet it totally killed whatever flow the poem had. You rhymed lies with unplurled words like dry and cry which isn't that terrible until you used lie unplurled near the end. Last stanza needs a couple extra words it doesn't flow right. You can easily fix most of the things I've pointed out so not a huge downgrade. 4/5

I agree with the above comment about the "crimson tears", it is a bit overrated on this site and I'm sure everywhere else ;p
However I did enjoy reading this, I can picture everything clearly. I'm not very picky with poems, I rather read something simple instead of a poem full of big words that don't even make sense anywayyy. Nice write, keep writing :)

Nitpicks:
*"stagnant decay"--feels repetitive in an awkward way
*"entwined in ache"--usage feels awkward, maybe "entwined with ache" instead--I could definitely be wrong here
*"see you on a lofty climb"--"climb" is a little awkward, didn't stick out like the others though

With those out of the way, I can talk about the really important stuff. Overall this poem felt great. It seemed pretty fresh to me, especially with the format of those two-syllable lines at the end of each stanza. That worked REALLY well. It was really well constructed. I really can't stress enough how well those closing lines worked for each stanza. I loved the imagery and symbolism of the rose on the knoll left to dry. The final line killed me, though! The rest of the poem was so poetically written and then the last line felt like a throwaway of some sort. I think you should either just take it out (which would be fine, since the poem would then end with "I die," which would be great) or revise it to fit better with the speaker in the rest of the poem. I think the main problem is that it seems to be a different speaker. But it's your poem, so do what you feel is right--5/5.

I think the one you wrote this for should read this poem.

Omg this poem had me on an emotional ride. it had me thinking like this is how my X should feel lol. This was amazing i loved it i hope she read this!!!

The wording was good, it flowed nicely, I liked how you ended each stanza with a two liner. I liked this verse:

"Withered away to dust, my only enemy is time"

and the last line. Nicely written, keep it up!!

That's how I felt when I wrote "I'll Always Love You, Big Bro". I wrote because I cared about a really good friend, but because of my social insecurities, I've pushed him & many people out of my life. This kinda reminds me of that.
