chemical radiance
stretched taught like your withered, once-beautiful, face.
there was still hope, said she
there was still love left, or the fading embers of a love
that swore it would never fade.
you thought i was elastic.
you thought you could pull and pull
and i would never break.

I like the perspective you've taken on the prompt. The background is a bit distracting. But I like the poem

this poem quite nearly gave me chills. short, but so powerful, i love short poems that leave you stunned, because it takes a lot to do that with only a few lines.
fantastic job
