Is Harmony to Naive Ears A long time ago I lost the meaning. Something happened to me and I don't even know what. What I write has no story; no inspiration. Instead they are lines with words; a weak attempt in capturing emotion that I lack.

Callous Sculpture
It's difficult for these stoney lips
to curl into a smile so genuine.
Or my jagged arms
to wrap around anyone

Without first slicing them.

The one-line tone change at the end was unexpected, so it works well. Content is good because of how the imagery is used, and how unique it is. Diction and syntax are appropriate - the words flow well and determine the speed of the poem - in this case you chose to make it read slowly. Assonance and consonance used well (the "s", "i", and "a" sounds especially). Good enjambment.

As for what to do with the poem, perhaps add one or two more stanzas before the one you've already written. Keep the last line how it is however - it works quite well on its own.
