In the passengers seat
There's only an armrest between us
Why does it feel like a big vast sea
Your lies sink like a thousand fishhooks
You find small innocent victims,
Shred their insides
And leave them for bait
You lies could fill the sunken titanicwith stains

Hi Shannon,
Really liked the metaphor "Your lies could fill the Titanic with stains" It is a powerful choice of words and the raw emotion in the poem is clear. Only thing that I felt didn't work quite so well was the billion fishhooks line, you could replace billion with thousand and it would flow better, just my opinion though this was a great piece of imagery
Keep up the great work
Rory

Gorgeous work that paints a vivid picture of something easily related to, for some.
I honestly don't see anything here, I don't like! <3

I liked it, it did something for me.
But I'm not sure the last line is required.

I really liked the first four lines; they were quite strong, but the fifth line doesn't seem to fit for me. Instead of using the word "bait", I think, maybe, the word "chum" might be more poignant ("chum" being the nomenclature for shark bait, I think). And I agree with whomever said the last line is unnecessary, but if you feel it important to include it, I would change it to something like "your lies alone could sink an ocean liner" (using the "Titanic" specifically seems a bit trite to me). But overall, I liked your piece and with just some polishing up, could be even better. Good job and kudos; thanks for the interesting read

the images are strong. I lkie that. I agree with the last line being a problem
for me its the imagery in the last line. what does a stain look like its sort of shapeless
and weightless which does not fit with all the sinking weighted down imagery i think you are trying to express. stones might be a better word choice
