    Wow. This poem was amazing. Describes how I feel these days. How odd. Your poem describes me and mine describes you. 'When we met' was written about my ex boyfriend so unfortunatly I don't feel that love anymore. I really love your work though. It flows so much better then mine. 5/5!

    This is perfect.
    Flawless flow, beautiful imagery, it created vivid pictures for me, and amazingly written.
    I didn't want this to end, but when it did I wasn't disappointed.
    It has such a powerful ending, it hit me hard.
    Wonderful work.

    I really liked this write. darkness is scary in so many different senses. I too fear the dark, which is why I write of it so much. 5/5

    Great job on your poem.

    When you left me
    You stole my sole spark
    You left me alone
    And afraid of the dark

    This stanza really touched me.
    Take care Cindy

    My hand reaches out
    Into the pitch black
    I feel the pain crawling
    Seeping into my back

    This poem gave me goosebumps! ;p I loved it!! Mostly cos I can relate to it in many ways. It sorta reminded me of mine...it's titled the same. Lol. But I like yours a lot. Never stop writing!

    Wow.
    I absolutely loved this.
    It had so much emotion through out it. And, I never wanted to stop reading it. I tend to do that with a lot of poems, eh.
    It was amazing, seriously.
    Maybe you could work on puncutation? It had no affect on this poem, but it might on others.

    Thanks for your comment. Nice imagery, though you try too hard to rhyme on this particular poem, and it creates forced and awkward images on some lines. Otherwise, very good. :3

    "I leave the light on at night
    Unless the stars shimmer
    I feel my chest tighten
    When the candle grows dimmer"

    ^^Not to keen on the "I." or "the" Maybe :

    Leave the light on at night
    Unless stars shimmer
    Feeling my chest tighten
    When this candle grows dimmer

    "My pulse quickens its pace
    Tears flow from my eyes
    Images flood my mind
    Like deceptions and lies"

    ^^I like this. I thought the opening was a tad weak but this seems to be getting stronger.

    "My hand reaches out
    Into the pitch black
    I feel the pain crawling
    Seeping into my back"

    ^^Again I don't think you need "I" on the third line, also I wasn't keen on black/back here..seemed like a child's rhyming to me. Reword maybe?

    "I am so alone tonight
    No one lays beside me
    Without the light's protection
    I open my eyes yet cannot see"

    ^^ I didn't like this verse to much, the flow seems all over the place, and again there's a repeated use of "i"

    "So grasp my hand
    As the sun goes down
    Look me into my soul
    Refuse me my frown"

    ^^This stanza seems, well, un-needed.

    "When you left me
    You stole my sole spark
    You left me alone
    And afraid of the dark"

    ^^ I liked the way you closed this piece, what I didn't like was the repeated use of fillers. (I, the, you etc) Maybe:

    When you left me
    Stole away sole spark
    Left me all alone
    So afraid of the dark

    Just some suggestions.
