I'm terribly sorry for your loss. She must have meant a great deal to you. This poem is so deep and fits with its theme perfectly, though the inspiration is tragic
. The way you describe everything is insanely amazing. This is so touching and personal, as I can only imagine. It must have been very painful to see your friend as you wrote this. Just reading this and knowing how it came to be sparks tears in my eyes. I'm very sorry.
You've probably heard it too many times, but I'm sorry about your friend. This poem reflects how beautiful she must have been.
I love the images you create in my mind. The word choice is vivid, powerful, yet delicate at the same time. Some lines I love:
She stands,
a pale statue of youth, burrowing naked feet
into coarse grains of wet sand
Charcoaled against a starless, rayless sky,
a fragile silhouette
balancing on the edge.
And:
Ankle deep
in oceanic ink
I really love that line "oceanic ink". It's so unique, and just flows off the tongue.
The whole poem presents such a dark subject in a really compelling and captivating way.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Wow. This is so beautiful. It's also the first thing I've read in ages that made me want to cry. Great work.
Beautiful imagery,
She stood, (But should this be "stands"?)
a pale statue of youth, burrowing naked feet
into coarse grains of wet sand
Charcoaled against a starless, rayless sky,
a fragile silhouette
balancing on the edge
That's all :3
I've seen few pieces of poetry on here with this level of craft.
