We sit up and talk of 
Unimportant things:
Of inorganic chemistry
Of complex calculus equations. 
We talk until 
We're blue in the face
Asphyxiated from the lack of love. 
We stay up late
Making forts out of sheets
Until we can't keep our eyes open 
And we fall
--asleep and dream of falling in love.

This poem means a lot to me. As such, I want it to be the best it can.

What do you think of the line breaks? Did any of them seem funny as you read it? How did the imagery work for you? What sort of a scene were you visuallizing? Did any words seem out of place in that scene? What did you think of the word love being in both the middle and the end? What did you think of the end?

This is a very pretty poem, and it gives me a wonderful image -- in that sense, I really like the word choice for its visual appeal, but I don't know if I'm really on the right track as far as what dimension the piece is going in. I feel like I only scratch the surface, but whether that's an artifact of the way it was written or an intentional feeling is unclear to me. I do like it, though.
