Yeah, the lack of specificity in the poem makes it not stick to the wall quite as well, asking the reader to fill that in/explore.
All or any of the above.

Cutesy. I see this poem as "a product of repetition".

its- no apostrophe in this case.
In the first stanza, I'd recommend dropping all the periods except for the last one in that stanza.

Evocative. Loneliness saturates the poem.

Lovely use of the word hangles (to hang from a hook...)
I would remove the comma between lighthouse and clutching- no comma needed. Beautiful poem. Really well done.

Judging from link link in your comment, I think that repetition in your poem refers to musical repetition. Otherwise, I would be drawn to assembly lines or women who don't listen and simply repeat themselves. And what is the product of the musical repetition? You don't say.
Frost says, "and many miles before I sleep"
"and many miles before I sleep"
and that works for me.
It changes the doer, revises his attitude.

For all the comments you have left here in the past few days, most of them finding some good, refusing to inflict a harsh remark, I wish you finding stars in dark skies, finding love that holds, and find the "you" you are looking for.

Your love is something I do not want. Take him. Do what you want. But this sounds codependent and mutually destructive. Nevertheless, you've said it well.

I imagine this being about poems that write, usually after considerable wine, and read the next day before they have escaped to somewhere, and they are like cockroaches--slimy infectious creatures. I keep them though, tuck them away for they are part of me, and in the right light and the right revision might become. Become what? Nothing probably, but who knows.
