The word choices, tasteful and not-overdone rhyme and the way everything is set up makes this very pleasing to the eye. I'm reminded of royalty for some reason, and the elegance shows throughout the darkness of the topic. Format can mean everything when it comes to poetry, and I feel as if the line spacing and stanzas are pretty well thought out, location-wise. The repetition of a few important lines makes for a very effective message, as well as the words of color and darkness that evoke such strong imagery when read. A good work can paint a definitive picture in your head of what the writer wants to convey, and this definitely does a good job of that. I can relate to your pain as well, which is one of the reasons why I thought this was such a nice piece in general.
