    "She expected me to never forget her,
    I realize I never will,
    but the least she can do for me
    is try her hardest
    to live another life
    that doesn't claim my identity."
    Really powerful start. Leaves me thinking who 'she' is. Perhaps she's someone you hate, or she's you or maybe your past..

    "She told me, no matter what,
    it would be forever....
    but I know the call was chasing me
    like golden beer bottles
    left on my front porch-
    I can't take away the sun's
    thirst."
    Love the metaphor you've used here.

    "The war following me
    as I am falling
    behind nuclear chemicals.

    I can't be caught."
    Really shows your struggle. Great imagery. Made me think of a girl running away from it all. Panting and her forhead streaming with sweat.

    "And now that it's spread
    past my feet, my ankles,
    my chest,
    my heart is already too deepened
    with the sickening smoke of sulfur."
    Kind of feels hopeless..

    "She will never hear my goodbye,
    she will never witness my last
    I love you."
    This is personally my favorite part.. I can feel the emotion. The sadness and hopelessness.

    "And all I hope to send down
    is a white angel
    that will make her memory
    end the world,
    her heart must never desire
    to recognize someone like me again."
    Wow. Great ending. This can be interpreted in a lot of different ways..

    Great piece, so captivating 5/5

    I love this!! I love this song as well. I wrote a poem a few years back with the same title as the song. You always write with such emotion and grace and that will take you far in life. Yo have raw talent and it shows so well in this piece. Keep writing :] -Nik
