Comments : Slipping away...

    The title and concept was attention getting and your lost line was powerful but you look at this part, it feels repetitive:
    I'm lying in the dark,
    Turning in to darkness
    You could have taken the to out but then you'd have basically two of the same word in one stanza. See if there's another word for darkness if you can and wanted to :)

    When you feel it slip its so hard to hold on. So if it falls pick it up again and continue to hang on. Sometimes picking up the pieces is what will make us whole.

    "My only ray of hope
    Is weakening by the day
    And I'm afraid to lose it
    I can already feel it slipping away..."

    This really did it for me. Sometimes I got the impression that words were used for the sake of it...in the sense they were not so well suited to the context. But the expression overall was magnificent....really great poem...write some more...

    Wow! I agree wholeheartedly with the above comment. The last stanza really fit your poem together so well, there was no thoughts of anything wrong with it after reading those lines. I could feel the sadness and sense of longing in every word, and I could relate to it a lot. I loved your style. Keep up your good work. 5/5

    I really thought the last stanza stood out the most, when you think your losing something and you can't prevent it it makes you feel so...helpless
    The rest of it was really sad...it made me feel for the writer
    Lovely...great stuff

    Some of the last lines of the stanzas were a bit too long
    But apart from that it was excedellent, especially the ending...like you can't stop the thing that means so much from leaving
    Other great poem :)

    Words with no meaning
    And promises that weren't real,
