Well that's a relief, sorry just read your notes :). Very dark place this comes from, and yes most people will look back and feel they missed something. But we must live in the present that's what i feel, write about the future and the past, but live for now. You never know what tomorrow holds, but it could be brilliant just the same. This is poetry, raw and intensely good. Regards Roscoe...

The long words in the opening stanza Camouflaging the story some what from the readers. Excellently done though may have worried some lol.
Not sure if this way of doing things takes strength or just a mind giving up.
It is so hard to imagine or go there and I only wish that whoever does this could have a built in phone line to help apart from the odd God that someone else has told them is there for them,

Exsanguination (also known colloquially as bleeding out) is the fatal process of
hypovolemia (blood loss), to a degree sufficient to cause death.

You scared me! It reads like someone planing out their own demise. Someone who is very tired and seen too much of the world. Never the less, I very much liked these lines:

with a little guts, magenta wrists -
allow the pain to be washed
in the shade of sorrow
as past gets longer, future shortens ...

tears bring release
… for now

love, Cat

this was just a stepping stone. I can see an experiment.

I think you already know how this works and fails. Superb word choice but reads a bit like a list of superb word choices. Lacks an emotional and structural coherency.

but I have a personal thing about ellipses, a sign not of emotional continuation but an inability to find the next word.

Often euphemistic, like Jean Genet's "and so on and so on" which always meant he had turned himself on so much by his writing he had to stop and masturbate. Kind of the opposite in this case.

So the ending could be stronger. Maybe something to the effect that the pain replaces my tears, you see where I'm going?
It would be more honest contextually.

and I look forward to you getting even deeper and darker. I feel it in you, it's not just wrting exercises, there is something there that needs to be said.
