Stuck in the shadows
of a place going in circles
memories lay broken on the floor
in front of me—
how did I end up here?
My soul cries out into cold silence,
there is no one here to listen
my beauty has long since gone
Frankenstein's monster I’ve become—
sadness is my fragrance

Firstly, the image is so befitting the song; and the poem follows suit with both. It's a very haunting, melancholic offering, Jackie.
Because you request and love honest critique, I can offer the following:
Stuck in the shadows /
of a place [ that ] go[ing] in circles
memories lay broken on the floor/
[ i ]n front of me[ — ]
how did I end up here
my soul cries out into [ the ] cold silence
there is no one here to listen
the beauty has long since gone
[ F ]rankenstein[ ' ]s monster I’ve become—
sadness is my fragrance
These are only minor suggestions in regards to line breaks, extraneous words, and a few grammatical corrections. If heeded, the poem would read the following:
Stuck in the shadows
of a place going in circles
memories lay broken on the floor
in front of me—
how did I end up here
my soul cries out into cold silence
there is no one here to listen
the beauty has long since gone
Frankenstein's monster I’ve become—
sadness is my fragrance
Again, haunting offering. Really enjoyed the complete delivery.

The darkness of the poem brings forth feelings of empathy, sorrow...and love. Excellent ink, Jackie.

Hello Harry :) always a pleasure to see you good man .. yes I was writing an example of the comp I’m hosting . I actually plan to write two more with the other two songs I selected for other people to also get creative with. I find that music and poetry are twins, like literally they were born together :)
Thanks for looking & the list 🤗
Love Jackie 😘

I totally agree, Jackie...I always listen to either Bach or Leonard Cohen when I write...and often The "B" man's Moonlight Sonata...I just love it so much.

Wow Zazzles, I can feel this so much with the song/video/picture all being perfect together. I definitely agree with Harry that the darkness of the poem brings forth feelings of empathy, sorrow, and love. I am sorry that I am only just getting around to reading it now, it really is beautiful writing.
