Sometimes you feel like a poem was written with yourself in mind. This has that feel to me.

Quite the piece to read. The thought processes presented, done with a rough elegance.
Well written...

You stand alone.
You are the only poet that can evoke such specific images in my mind.
Stark, bleak, almost like finding a bleached skeleton in your own home.
I find myself uncomfortable with the notion that something like this/that has somehow existed beside me, quietly.

You know, they say talking to yourself is only a bad thing if yourself talks back.

This is a visual marvel. I love the way you typed "disintegrate" and the last couple lines in the third stanza. The emotion and cynicism reverberate off the lines... Fantastic work!

I wish to achieve what you can do with words. You tear me from the inside. So lovely and hard.
