the two faces of the bar social. (Free verse) by darby pyn
See her smile. you think you know. two eyes with walls before her soul. blinded by your expectations a loose denial with no reservations. now you see it was all so clear the canvas beneath the atmosphere. gestures and laughter hugs with pats on the back knives drove into my back. swell your ego with my naevete'. Im the fool the jester in the corner for an audience of one. never again will I be so obvious with my affection to strangers with dirty faces.

knives 'drove' -> 'driven'?

relatively interesting piece for an 'angst' poem. couldn't quite get into the flow.

Needs more line breaks, and needs more explanation about what's going on.

Awesome easy rhyming kept my attention - right up to naevete', then it kind of breaks.

Rethink that ending, if you are so inclined, and you will have something really special, I'm sure of it.

Yes, that's the way it is with 'them lambs' So when they go baah? You really shouldn't be shocked... That's what they do.

I was drunk when I wrote this. I just wanted to write and
vent. reading this back to myself I don't like it much.
oh well thanks for the critique.
