Perfect, After you're gone
Better and better everyday,
Every moment you walk away,
Everyday you fade away, Piece by piece by……………………
BUT
Better and better I become,
Further and further I can reach,
Every moment is a miracle decision,
How you fade is my motivation.

Welcome to Neo...
This is a powerful piece, that says you are recovering from this bad relationship! Your title is good and drew me in and that is a good thing. The pacing is good, although the form is not that pleasing to the eye and makes one try to follow it; taking away from the work. I'm not sure of the [But], it adds a question here, where there should be none. [ it makes a question, by saying [but], But what? I would much rather see the line say: And so, . It is logical and consistent and the theme is a constant throughout most everyone's life. [There are some people in our lives that we would be better off without]. ~ Geezer.

I sense a resilient, strong
I sense a resilient, strong woman here, (*ahem* best be careful of what I say)
You've said quite a lot in such a short piece, and with unerring clarity.
I liked the indented lines, if only for the fact that I haven't worked out how to do it yet!
Thanks, Lola. Looking forward to More.
