<p><em>The endings won't end you ("endings won't end you" I would leave out capitalization and punctuation, as we don't use those "restrictions" in our thoughts or feelings and this is what this poem is all about.)<br /></em></p>
<p><em>set yourself free</em></p>
<p><em>with wings unfolded (unfold your wings)<br /></em></p>
<p><em>there's beauty (in)<br /></em></p>
<p><em>this time, this place</em></p>
<p><em>go wild for a while (really like the way "wild" and "while" work together)<br /></em></p>
<p><em>burn out the stars with me</em></p>
<p><em>memories were always priceless (were/are priceless – don't need "always")<br /></em></p>
<p><em>as long as you wanted</em></p>
<p><em>I wanted the wanting</em></p>
<p><em>we were made of star dust</em></p>
<p><em>wandering in this cosmos (the cosmos)<br /></em></p>
<p><em>you give me fireflies</em></p>
<p><em>unlove me, please</em></p>
<p><em>a memory, a star, a stain</em></p>
<p><em>let me distract you</em></p>
<p><em>all I need is me</em></p>
<p><em>I'll never be that me again (I'd move "again" to the next line)<br /></em></p>
<p><em>let me pass through</em></p>
<p><em>the blazing fire</em></p>
<p><em>I'll come out as gold (golden)</em></p>
<p><em>fight for the fairytale (fight for fairytales)<br /></em></p>
<p><em>let me find my wings (find wings)<br /></em></p>
<p><em>escape the ordinary</em></p>
<p><em>'rarity' is rare</em></p>
<p><em>you are someone to me <br /></em></p>
<p><em>an unreasonable request</em></p>
<p><em>call me a nameless person (call me nameless)<br /></em></p>
<p><em>let me leave</em></p>
<p><em>for my fantasy. (leave me to my fantasy)<br /></em></p>
<p>This is a powerful and well written poem. You understand the drama and flow of poetry and I truly enjoyed reading, and working on, this poem. Please understand that my suggestions are just that, suggestions. Feel free to disregard any, or all, that you disagree with. I thank you for trusting me with your fine work and hope to get to some of your other poems, as time permits. Your friend in poetry, Susan</p>
