Caressing the anger
Bathing in bliss
I can never hide from you
____
Once shrouded in vibrancy
Now reeling in loss
But never can I escape
From you
_____
Your embrace
Forever like needles
My once pleasant dreams
Now drowning in your fire
_____
A once happy union
Glittering in laughter
Now soaked in blood and rage
All because of your foul kiss
_____
I tried to hide from you
But you always came back
I tried to fill the void
But your caress never ceased
_____
To find love again
I will forever wish for
A father’s smile
Will I ever see once more?
_____
Still your embrace never ceases
To fade away, I would wish upon a star
If only to be rid of you
And I shall feel alive again.

Greetings! First off, I must say that this is an amazing poem! I really like the descriptions you use, and it is difficult to find any errors. In most cases, I would say that more punctuation is usually a good idea, but here, I think that punctuation-wise, it is perfectly fine! The only thing I can point out is that you kind of overuse the words "embrace" and "caress". Perhaps you could spice it up with words like "touch"? Other than that, however, I can't really find any errors, so good job! Sorry for the short review, and have a great day!
I can tell there's some kind of backstory to this, even if the poem doesn't clearly state much. I know from reading that the character regrets making some kind of embrace with someone, even though I think he enjoyed it a little. As for the grammar, I would suggest to change punctuation or capitalization to help the poem flow from one thought to another. I couldn't really tell in "But never can I escape, From you, Your embrace" when one sentence ended and the next started, or if at all. Also, you did well at paralleling bliss and regret, but after "All because of your foul kiss" it starts to slope downward. If the muse is still there caressing the author, then how are they filling the void and wishing for "a father's smile" elsewhere?
You've got good potential and I like where it's going. Just a little bit of editing would go a long way, however.
It is about chronic pains. The speaker is a CP sufferer. The foul embrace are the pains.
Also I wasn't able to put space in between each stanza.
I'm not entirely certain what this is about? A foul embrace? What is foul about it?
It's about chronic pains.
