Burning Memories

A few typos (I've written this as a separate comment so you can delete it if you want to fix them):

Line 8: "ragging" -> "raging"
Line 13: "imbedded" -> "embedded"
Line 21: "ragging" -> "raging"

The imagery of this poem is very good, even though the subject is sad. "Embers hidden behind my smile" -- that line is beautifully written, it evokes an image that almost all of us can relate to.

From a technical perspective, I thought that the poem is a bit too long. I lost track in the second half with a feeling of de ja vous (c.f. lines 1 and 2 with lines 13 and 14, line 5 with line 18, line 8 with line 16).

I thought that a few of the lines were "meh" (meh: lacking inspiration, boring; usually said with a curling of the lip and slight tilting back of the head), such as lines 4, 5, and 9. With a bit of rewording these lines could be more powerful.

I love the symmetry between line 8 and the last three lines. You have done that so well.

Overall, I think this is a great poem that captures your emotion powerfully. You wrote for one, but you spoke to many. Keep up the good work.
