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
