Excellent ending. I like how you've used color to enhance emotion. That works so often, and yet it is underused. "My lavender-soaked world", is a great example. It bursts with so much more than if you'd written the purple sky, or I feel a certain way right now. Very descriptive. The tone works well with the culminating end line. MD:77.

As I’m once again reminded that even when I was with you,

I was always without you.

I like this last 2 verses. It brought of a... contradiction parallel. Nice.

"It brings a sigh to my lips
And a swift exhale of frustration
As I’m once again reminded that even when I was with you,
I was always without you."

I loved these last four lines. You wrote her emotions so well, she sounds quite exasperated, like someone who's tired of waiting but continues to anyways.

Wow. I think this is my favorite of your poems. It has a good style in the way it was written. Keep on writing!

"Toxic rains." The meaning here is twofold. It may mean that the world is faling apart--that the rain will soak up toxins, and one day the rain will hurt us. Or, perhaps this means that something perceived at first as innocent (soft rain) is really cruel (freezing rain). The line is captivating and fascinating, to say the least! :)

"I was always without you." An interesting twist. I like that it ended the poem in an anxious/angsty tone.

I don't know why more people haven't reviewed your work. It's awesome! Don't give up! :)
