    Wow, such a simple poem but it rings true in many ways. Easily relatable. I found myself reminiscing multiple relationships that follow along the same lines. Lately I feel as though I've burnt out and one of my ex's still burns brightly; I figure he's long forgotten about me. It also reminds me of someone I am currently in love with - he is a burning star in the atmosphere and next to him, I'm nothing.
    Great write. Some words seemed excessive, but it made the poem grounded, modern, and personal. Definitely not gruesomely flowery, this is something straight from the heart without revision.
    I would put a period after the last line, but that's me and you're you!

    5/5

    I really loved this poem. I liked how you didn't break up each form. It makes the piece flow better and it has such an impact on the reader. I loved the way you opened it was well. It seemed so simple and then you changed up. I'm glad you joined the contest, seems like you did a good job with making the forms work together. Great work :] Nik
