Left, But Not Right

I, a cocoon lonely
in the corner of an empty room.
That face: encased
reached up knowing it's place.
With lips sublime
and eyes that shine.
You left,
feeling blindly in this cleft.
For that night,
dawn-less with bitter bite.

Coming down,
am I to be your clown?
From debase in utter haste,
I want to climb, 
to stars that are mine.
Bereft of love:
the mood moves deft.
Within this plight
in the darkest of night:
I withdraw to tomb,
darkened as womb.

Was it too fast; to move you to past?

Thank you. This is one of my earlier pieces, written amongst a bad break up. What do you like about it, what don't you like?
