nesting rhyme poem assignment

please don't think I'd ever write something like this if it was not for an assignment. although i do like the rhythm. its the content in which i don't know what the hell i'm talking about.


gradually I disappear
as sky darkens, stars appear
you, trying to hold on, whisper softly in my ear

stay, stay, we can go anywhere.
and your words tiptoe tempting through my hair
and my prickly skin remembers in the heartless starlit air

I am despair
don’t say I’m not, spare
me your hollow whispers that hang heartless in the air

you, you unaware
of everything I am, of all the masks I wear
let me fade, let me fade into your cold, cruel night air

quite a scare?
didn’t think I could. and now you care
and now your touch is empty, and I as empty as air.

so you see, I disappear
you’ve only ever seen things as you like them to appear
so now you see, I am no more, you’ve nothing left to whisper in my ear
