Wow this is quite powerful in emotional undertones! Love the imagery of the second line. Great work! Keep writing :-)

Thank you so much for your review! It made my day. I'm glad to see that you're still writing as well. I especially love the line "but I adorned it in ink and steal," This poem is beautiful, short and sweet.

I like this verse, you did a great job. Could you consider adding more to it? Take it as the opening and/or closing stanza and build on it in the middle to add detail and structure? It's very good, but I think more could be added to make it have depth. Great stanza though!
