Sift, Shape, Stumble on.
Stay the night, leave at dawn.
Kiss me, hold me when you wake...
But you don’t stay for my live’s sake.
Sift, Shape, Then move on.
My life is yours, my life is gone!
My heart collapses; unsteady pain...
Hopelessness, your steady gain.
Sift, Take, Then move on.
I am nothing, fallen, worn.
Your feet have taken you, this I know,
Where mine once refused to go.
Twist, Take, Then move on.
I’m no longer who I was.
In your footsteps, without pause
I will sift, shape, stumble on.

So this is my first poem in a while, it was an exercise i made up for myself. I was attempting to create a poem that seemed to grow and change, like people do. so, if you feel like commenting, please tell me what you think and how it made you feel?

Instead of wan use worn.

All in all it is a really nice poem in my honest opinion, I think that your aporoach was really good on this one and your way of bringing out the character's perspective in this poem isreally good. I liked it. Keep writing.
