I agree with kolemath that the random rhyming does seem to give it a lighthearted feel, which I don't know if you're going for. Didnt think it was random so much as subtle, here's the rhyme pattern by how I organized it
S1: through, soon, moon
feeling, leaving
help her, held her
S2: television, again, weapon
jaw, fall
rage, space
S4: raw, calls, all
hungrier, funnier
violent, silence
The line breaks feel random, and it reads like prose except for the occasional burst of strict rhyme. I think some of the breaks might be cause the line was too long, and I'd like to know more of the difference between prose and anything else. I thought this piece was borderline![]()
In the end, the heart comes through, and that's the main thing. Thanks for reading
Thanks for sharing,

I could go line for line but don't know if you want that in novice.If you want to do a line for line I'll consider all your comments wholeheartedly, it just seemed exhausting for this one
Thanks fornthe read
