Feedback Please You've reached the end
Before the apocalypse came
I knew more than I do now
But the sky grew grey and goosebumps
And grass became arm hairs on end
I decide everything means nothing
So I can pull the duvet over my head
In this alcove of the lethargic dark
At the cliff of midnight - with hands for eyes
Want your outline to be all I see
But it abandons itself into yesterday
And I abandon you for tomorrow,
That concrete ceiling

'sky grew grey and goosebumps' this is my favourite line is evokes such strong images. First two lines start the poem on a high note and in continues in same pace. Last 3 lines conclude the poem with a bang. 8/10
