Long nights displaced

12:45 clock strikes call slow ante meridiem post affliction
Moments grow as sheets slight crow sing mockery of alone
Open windows yield night's fleeting ghosts riding cold solitude
Ice falls upon empty spots under blankets lost of her embrace
Absence bowed respite lace to rigid blanket ranges
Wrinkled lights shade and illuminate pale cascades of ripping decadence
Midnight skies bathe righteous lives alone and filthy
Mistakes timeless grace reaps loathsome gazes on chilled plains and hollowed cascades
Coursing despise traced dauntless templates where her body lay on nights and kept cold at bay
Slept alone under frozen drapes cold in mockery of what you wanted
Warmth was not her name so welcome the cold in wait of something more to offer

(there are too many words, use one and sum it up towards the end of this line

Moments grow as sheets slight (the) crowing mockery of (being) alone
(that was just possibilities you could do. That just makesmore sense to me, but you can decide. It just didn't connect and make sense to me

Open windows yield ?(to)? night's fleeting ghosts riding cold solitude
(I really like that line, I love the images I get.

Ice falls upon empty spots under blankets lost of her embrace
(I still like that line

Absence bowed respite lace to rigid blanket ranges
(do you mean abstinence or absence? How does the absense bow respite lace? I do not get that

Wrinkled lights shade and illuminate pale cascades of ripping decadence
(also good line, but I would change ripping to something more poetic  or more soft like the other words in the line

Midnight skies bathe righteous lives alone and filthy
(do you mean "bathe the righteous lives? If they are bathed why does that make them filthy

Mistakes timeless grace reaps loathsome gazes on chilled plains and hollowed cascades
(Put a apostrophe after the end of mistakes to make it belonging to the Mistakes)

Coursing despise traced dauntless templates where her body lay on nights and kept cold at bay
(Still do not get how coursing despice makes sense

Slept alone under frozen drapes cold in mockery of what you wanted

Warmth was not her name so welcome the cold in wait of something more to offer
(Last line was too complicated for my taste but I really like this poem, and your style of writing

*slight means insignificant in this line and alone is beinged mocked in general

Open windows yield ?(to)? night's fleeting ghosts riding cold solitude
(I really like that line, I love the images I get.

Ice falls upon empty spots under blankets lost of her embrace
(I still like that line

Absence bowed respite lace to rigid blanket ranges
(do you mean abstinence or absence? How does the absense bow respite lace? I do not get that)
*absence of this girl bowed or distorted his once comforting bed

Wrinkled lights shade and illuminate pale cascades of ripping decadence
(also good line, but I would change ripping to something more poetic  or more soft like the other words in the line)
*ripping is absolutely poetic to describe the affect his self-indulgence has on his life

Midnight skies bathe *such* righteous lives alone and filthy
(do you mean "bathe the righteous lives? If they are bathed why does that make them filthy)
*im trying to say that night time covers him with the realization of himself being alone and despicable in being so righteous and self-justified  

Mistake*'*s timeless grace reaps loathsome gazes on chilled plains and hollowed cascades
(Put a apostrophe after the end of mistakes to make it belonging to the Mistakes)
*goodlookin

Coursing despise traced dauntless templates where her body lay on nights and kept cold at bay
(Still do not get how coursing despice makes sense)
*he looks at her empty spot with despise which is such a strong feeling that it courses or moves through the spot leaving a mark of his hate

Slept alone under frozen drapes cold in mockery of what you wanted

Warmth was not her name so welcome the cold in wait of something more to offer
(Last line was too complicated for my taste but I really like this poem, and your style of writing)
*essentially im tryin to say she wasnt what he wanted so he would rather be cold then have her warmth
thanks
