I'm still loving it! :) Again, I also can't help but to agree with niteowl, but I really like these.

Hi there fortis! Nite here to finish what she started.

First line: I think this would be more effective as "We parted", so it transitions from sharing the blame to taking full responsibility for leaving.

The awkward phrasing: There's quite a few places where it seems off, and I can't decide if it's intentional or not.

"little did I know it"
"ugly as to hide"
"other lovers has she"--the other two kind of work, but I'm not liking this one. I'd go with "But she has other lovers now".

Overall, not much to say. I am not helping my team too much with these haha. Keep writing! :)

The ending stuck out so perfectly to me because...heh, I'm guilty of that too. I like the imagery and similes you have incorporated. I wish it was longer though; I feel like I'm being left out on more of the story than what is being told. Like what you found out but I guess that is for my imagination to create. Brief yet intriguing. I think this poem is pretty awesome.

So short and sweet, yet with a flood of emotions. Your diction is flawless it almost tears me to shreds. (A bit awkward if I do say so myself XD) It's amazing especially the part that is written, "she grew as fair as a beam of sunlight and I, ugly as to hide amidst the craters of the moon." So much imagery bundled in such a short amount of space, I must say you really pulled it off. I never seen anything like this really. Astonishing job, I hope to read more of your intriguing poems! :D
