    This is an excellent piece and uniquely written; I love the stuttering affect that the full-stops create throughout the poem - it gives it an almost manic air which lends to the darkness of the piece.
    I see from your profile you've been gone awhile. Great to have you here again as the site needs poetry like this,

    Hello,

    as SL says, this is unique and I like that. The use of punctuation to amplify the affect of the word and in its context.

    To mirror SL, poets, writers, young and old trying to learn this craft need experience such as yours.

    My only other thoughts apart from praise it this, I would have been inclined to completely copy the last verse and not change the last few words. If you don't agree, maybe from the last word 'falling' in this verse could trail off. This would leave the reader to go back to the top and read it for themselves. Like this:

    Cheers. Clink. Glass. Wine
    To the demise of the falling
    Me. I mean. I'm falling...

    Many thanks,

    Michael

    Hello,

    every line is beautiful nice written piece..

    but you repeated the first stanza and put it all into the last part, it looks like a song for me and the 1st and last stanza are both chorus. if you have a good melody that will fit into this,this could be a good song...

    but don't worry its not bad..
    keep on writing..
