There's like one single metaphor throughout the whole thing. No Similes, not really many literary devices.

Here's the thing though, this could serve as a short standalone monologue which would work pretty well if you give it a little meat, I guess around 200 - 400 words or so. You have the ability to tug at a reader's emotions with your darkside writing.

Anyways, I'm not really good with poems myself, so I have no clue what you can improve right off the bat, let's way for someone with more ideas to come along. :) I agree, but I am also not good with poetry. Maybe one of our other authors can be of more help.
