Sadness latched itself onto my drenched set of clothes as I was about to leave the room, completely, this time
Packs of long, dark, ominous clouds hang around my head—as if it were trying to water my scalp

Thunder roars for my earbuds to detect from miles away, making my whole body tremble, giving a sign of impure justice

Is it the everlasting texture of soft, maroon-like, foreign blood passing by?
Or maybe it has always been that rusty, old cubic hydraulic press ready to force another diamond into existence?

The table was never empty; it was never vacant, at least, not for me
All I could taste was the bitter fury left after a false sense of hope
I mean, can I blame myself for falling if hope tasted like that drizzling in sweet, caramel-glazed chocolate, topped with a handful of rainbow sprinkles ice cream cake from Dairy Queen?

Maybe in another life, I would've been able to smell the sweet taste of freshly-brewed hot choco and pancakes fresh out the pan along with the words, "I love you"

i also loved how long each line seems to be, which is something i personally don't see often/ all the time. You did a wonderful job with the imagery and took advantage of the length of each line to build up great visuals for your readers to imagine

#

i got a good grip on what you were trying to say too, so the metaphors did their job perfectly

#

overall, i really loved this poem, and honestly wish i could've adopted your structure and style! 😭
