i agree with the other reviewer that angsty cutting poems are overdone and automatically cause people to just write them off as whiny and cliche, and yet this piece speaks to the reader. the ocean metaphors are great, and the repetition of the ocean, moon, and sand are well done. "porcelain skin" is a bit over the top and cliche, but that's really the only unoriginal thing i see in here. "lucid whispers from the moon" is beautiful, and calling night "dark fur and shadows" is really great, evocative imagery. i think this poems works, but it might be even better if you could cut out even more of the cutting and have it be focused around the ocean and that magnetic pull. nice write! :)

it's actually a good poem. i love the sea part, it makes it sound almost serene, though i know it's not supposed to. i'm not a big fan of angsty i wanna cut myself poetry, but i do think that you're talented.
