    I like the comparison of the headstone to your heart. Usually, an epitaph contains script that honors the deceased but I like the dark twist here, where you demand that your feelings be carved into the stone.
    Only thing, chizzel should be chisel.

    Chelsey,
    Sometimes when you write, I get this sense of all your thoughts rushing onto the page and you desperately trying to make them seem viable to the mind, but here, there is actually a disturbing sense of calmness, and the dark aspect of this frightens me, it makes me think back to my own fears and my own poetry that felt like this, it was deep and powerful and there was something here that just seemed different.

    However, saying that, I love the way you personified your heart, and didn't include you as a person, like it was a disconnected heart, like it no longer belonged to you, again, that is quite a sad image and thought to have.

    You used some thought provoking lines, some heart wrenching metaphors and the piece was really strong.

    Hugs and love

    This is fantastic, Chelsey! I love that you're speaking beyond the grave, almost as if you're getting some sort of retribution by addressing your killer.

    It's a sad poem, of course. And if this poem be taken as a life poem, it tells something like..."oh she was a very good lady, and everyone used to like her for her kindness, generosity and blah blah...i.e after death! When in reality, when she was alive, she might have been bad-tempered, not sociable, etc., etc....
    In short, when someone dies people talk only the good things about him/her, i.e upon the corpse.

    Well, that was just my understandin (or rather my speculation)... Anyway, great write, & deserves a 5/5!:)
