Reach

I robbed the sunlight,
A cure all remedy,
To fix the smallest pains,
That push to extremity.
You've made your cast,
Of emotional plaster,
Enjoy a warm comfort,
Of fragile tranquility,
Because if this pain wants to get to you,
It's gonna have to deal with me.
Honestly,
What's a few jams of hands and broken bones,
When the thing that hurts most is empty dial tones,
And what a doctor can't heal,
Means your sentiment is real,
So all ya gotta do is reach...
I am a fan of you,
And what you hear is true,
Though whenever we advance,
There's unproductive collision,
But surprisingly....
I'm still left up on my feet.

There is a real feel for language use in this. the line 'I am a fan of you' is a brilliant example. What i like about your style - it is illustrated well in this poem - is that the reader has to re-read the poem to make any sense of its flow. this is really great creative writing. I like the fact that you don't use a formula to the rhyme scheme. That works so well!
