I have to say that you're an amazing poet.

Firstly, the summary was amazing. I wish it was in the actual poem. "Maybe your departure caused my decay." Amazing.

"We said we felt gelatinous. We were never quite solid."
"But since you've left, I've melted."
"But I'm a man manqué and stretched too thin."
(I loved the man manqué bit. It's usually used as "writer/artist manqué, right? But this was awesome.)

I think these lines and the imagery in the last stanza make the poem.

Sounds very poetical.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I love every single line, and how powerful it can be.
[ I finally have to move
without your glue.
But I'm a man manqué
and stretched too thin. ]
My fav paragraph.

due to obscene freak weather related incidents which occurred today, i'm partial to the second stanza. i like that you didn't use couplets, it's perfectly off-balance.

i agree about the couplets that midnight in eden suggested? i think the line breaks kind of disrupt every line unnecessarily.

i do love your word choice and how you put this poem together though. phrasing, imagery, etc. etc. all perfect.

i use to believe you'd feel the same for me

Thought: couplets instead of four line stanzas?

That aside I love the vivid imagery you use and the way you weave it into the story. The last stanza is my favorite because it's pure imagery but such a climax at the same time.

Midnight

i like this part:
"But I'm a man ...
and stretched too thin."

it's a nice poem
