    Amazing! Wow it just so different. I thought at first (Diminished Hexaverse) was somewhat related to your title or poem until I found out it was a form of poetry. It also looks quite hard to pull off and not as easy as it seems by reading this wonderful work! I can appreciate the effort you put into this one.

    Well done, thank you for introducing me to another form.

    This one is pretty cool, I have to try this form some day. You did a wonderful job.

  • I am not all that fantastic at interpreting poems but here goes:

    'I saw the dark side of
    your life, the twisted acts
    that you marked every night.
    And when you knew what I
    saw you stood there in a
    traumatized disbelief.'

    ^^ You've obviously discovered something about this person - a hidden identity,their true identity, their past, their skeletons as such..?

    'That guilty sore in
    your eyes, breathing a
    sigh with no disguise,
    standing there I can't
    read what's in your mind.'

    ^^ 'guilty sore' leads me to believe, well one, it's true because they show their guilt clearly, but also that it was in the past because a 'sore' is usually the healing process. 'Sigh' leads me to believe that there is relief or perhaps resignation at its discovery?

    'So scared to take
    a step towards
    me, for I may
    run to be freed.'

    ^^This person is unsure if you will accept them, their truth, or if you will run away.

    'But take a
    deep breath and
    come closer.'

    ^^ You are going to at least try to accept this person and their hidden truths.

    'See, I
    am still

    Here!'

    ^^ clearly you chose to stay.

    OVERALL;
    Firstly, a fantastic effort on the style of poem! I have never seen this style before nor am I sure I could ever replicate it. You have managed to make it look effortless, when in fact that is surely not the case.

    Secondly, this piece is really astounding. I think what the message behind this piece is that those who truly about you will accept you no matter your flaws..? Or similar to that anyhow..

    Thirdly, don't change a thing! You have managed to perfect it already, so I need not offer any critiques. (:

    Excellent. 5/5
