Something doesnt feel right
I can taste it in the air
These numbers dont add up
And no one seems to care

The pistol on the nightstand
Is right within my reach
his crimson war takes lives
And im just a casualty

Ive fallen victom to this conflict
And I wish i never was
Im finished with this bloodshed
Its over with and done

The candle is growing low
The flame flickers as it dies
And i feel like a failer
Because that candle was my life

Interesting..

"The candle is growing low
The flame flickers as it dies
And i feel like a failer
Because that candle was my life"

This was my favourite stanza. I liked the way you used a candle to decrible the ending of the life. Well done

(great stanza splendid opening


The pistol on the nightstand
Is right within my reach
his crimson war takes lives
And im just a casualty
*why do you have a pistol on the nightstand? and presumably it is within your reach but. Whose crimson war? what crimson war, describe more.
how are you wounded

Ive fallen victim to this conflict
And I wish i never was
Im finished with this bloodshed
Its over with and done
(what bloodshed? why is ther bloodshed

The candle is growing low
The flame flickers as it dies
And i feel like a failure
Because that candle was my life

Good last stanza but try to connect the candle with ur life a little better, it was to haphazard.  iT seemed to just go back and forth

Because if the reader is left with, 'what was he talking about instead of wow it makes me think, i want to know more of how this writer ticks. Show me more."

Then theres a problem, i still like the first stanza a great deal, failer is spelled failure. And I still think you should put my crimson war instead of this crimson war  , looking back.

But the ending is very good. Fablous way to end it

Oh my God, Clockwork, this is... amazing. A masterpiece, if you will.  I'm completely blown away, very good, I LOVE IT!

I've stopped fighting my inner demons... we're on the same side now.
