the rhyming was Amazing!

First off, I find it most difficult to review poems. A lot of times there's not much you can edit except adding a few words, or dropping them. So - I will hold off on advice (Because for poems, it would surely be bad advice) and skip to something else.

I greatly enjoyed the lines:
Your clutch just serves to further bruise
a heart already slain

It just really got me interested and thinking about this even further. You did a great job with portraying emotion. =-]

Sorry it's taken me so long to review but here I am.

First off, I'm always confused by poets who center align when not playing with format or for some purpose. Left alignment is so much easier to read and appreciate. Another technical pointer, more punctuation. I would love to see how you want this read. You've got a question mark but then dry up? Either rid the question mark or punctuate this baby.

I'm not sure about the repetition of "Your clutch just serves to further" in the first stanza. It jars more than adds in my opinion. I would love it once but twice feels unnecessary. Then you repeat the heart imagery which again just doesn't fit to me.

I do love your rhythm though. Don't change your style in that respect. It's only slight tinges of your language that fault me right now. As well as your last line. Scrap it, rework it, change it, as it is now it just lies flat. It needs to climax this bitter work.

Otherwise, not bad and I hope I was a help.

Sad but beautiful, it was nice and it reminded me of my last kiss to someone very special to me. It was great, good work.

Another great poem! The best line was "Your clutch just serves to further bruise/a heart already slain". I think you could add some more puctuation so that the reader knows exactly where he/she should breathe and pause when reading it. Also, the line "Let us make this goodbye our last" felt like it had too many syllables, but that have been just because I was reading it wrong.
Keep the wonderful poems coming!
