Hey, hey
Just stopping by to tell you that you've got a great little poem here; succint but piercing!
You have used excellent work choice, and the lines seem to flow from one to the other quite nicely. However, as has been noted, I feel that the poem suffers from insufficient pacing. While it is within your creative license to reject punctuation, I can only see correct punctuation improving this poem, with full-stops at the end of a few lines, and commas, too. Otherwise, you cause me, the reader, to make my own pauses (especially when it's not needed) which ruins the momentum you created (or tension) and thus, ruins the overall effect of the poem.
The form, I'd argue could stay how it is, or it could be split as has previously been suggested, but personally I find the main irk with this poem is the lack of punctuation, not incorrect form.
Again, I really enjoyed your poem, notably the last 3 lines, and I hope to read more from you! Take care!
