Vanity

Confidence drained out of my photographs 
Replaced by lines that weren't there 
All the hell's getting inside me 
Never imagined I'd be here 
Bowed on one knee 
Burning hope as incense at the altar 
Of vanity

solid poem with great metaphors. i especially like "burning hope as incense at the altar of vanity." implicit meaning is heartbreaking. good job!
