Dark Room

I thought she was the light in a dark room.

She had me circling the bright fumes

but I did not know.

She was the dark room.

Great write, well constructed. I like the expression of the revelation that 'She was the dark room'.

Great that you found out darkness masquerades as light. I have been with such dark room types far too many times myself. You have conveyed a deep and important message i short verse. A7

I like the subject matter and the use of the simile modifiers for a dark poem. The person you thought she was, was not... The rhyme scheme "abba" (that is, where the first and fourth lines, and the second and third lines rhyme) for an Enclosed Rhyme. A 7 Hugs Eve
