                                                a sound
                                                i look behind
                                                i think you're there
                                                it's just a cat who's jumped down on a box This line feels too long and is the box important ?
                                               
                                                we live
                                                and lived
                                                amidst a swirl of things
                                                and most of them are gone this is a strong image of the pace of life slowing down and more relevant given S1

                                                you've left them now
                                                i'll leave them here as well quite sad but a natural progression for the poem
                                               
                                                it's time to feed the cats again The cats need feeding again ? I like the way this sets up the...ah well life goes on
                                                i ask myself
                                                what can I do with this new day?
                                                it's any fucking thing i want to do you could drop the repeat on 'Do' and drop ' its' without losing the meaning or the punch
                                               
                                                i live each day
                                                i'm free
                                                i look behind
                                                the past begins again I like this very much,the true outcome off loosing someone and its so comforting to look back, strong ending
