My main nitpick with the poem is that verse- you seem to be going for rhymes, and 'still' and 'surreal' do not rhyme. There's nothing wrong with a poem not rhyming, but if all the verses except one rhyme, it looks pretty sloppy.
It's pretty nice, though.
I was really surprised that people commented on the rhyminess of it.
My entire goal for the poem was to be Emily Dickinson-ish and use words that almost rhyme but not quite. Good to know I succeeded at least once!
EDIT: Hmm...kept it ok on the first two stanzas, but it loks like a dirfted off into poetry land after that and accidentally used full rhymes. Meh.
