Me again Crimsona!
As always, have a Happy Review Day!
I have to say I loved this poem all the more than the last. Don't you ever stop that late night poetry writing, because what you do produce is really good! I love how the boy is picking out all these traits of the girl, but she can only see the downsides they bring. And the fact that she is always holding in her emotions, but still down talking herself for not being perfect like he wants is so sad :'( You wrote this beautiful with perfect imagery that keeps me hooked onto these words all the time.
when everything was alright in the world.
This line didn't really work for me because the line 'alright' can of broke the imagery for me a bit. Maybe something like 'when there was total peace in the world' or 'when everything was perfect in the world.'
my heart was as hollow as that pumpkin
that we carved together last October.
Again, this one didn't really work for me because it was so random! I couldn't find any symbolism behind the use of them carving a pumpkin together other than the fact that they did it together (which I think was the point.) But throughout this whole poem you are saying they are together, so this is already given. And seeing poem is really focused on Halloween or anything to do with Halloween So maybe change this to something more related and less random, so I don't feel it was such a sudden input to the poem.
Other than that, there isn't really anything more for me to say here. Keep up the brilliant work, and let me know when you've written anything new!
