    I LOVE well penned Acrostics, this is one of them. I agree with Mark, the lines doesnt seem forced, which made it perfect. Enjoyed reading it, great job:)

    I love how original this is.
    I don't think I'll ever master formed poetry, every time I try it sounds forced... and like someone mentioned below your words are definitely not forced, they flow beautifully.

    I have to agree that this is original. I've always written/read poems about tears, eyes etc.. but I've never thought of punctums.
    I can tell you are really good with formed poetry, because, as stated, this did not seem forced at all. I might not have guessed that this was an acrostic if you did not mention it haha, and the definition at the bottom is helpful since 'punctums' is a word we rarely see used.
    This is really creative.
    My favorite part is:
    "Tunneling them to a secret place,
    Unauthorized by the heart"
    because it is true and easily relatable. We usually can't control ourselves when sadness overwhelms us.
    Great write. Keep it up :)
