We are the heartbreak they sing about
We are the candle flickered out
We are the wound still open
We are the rage spoken
We are the dead vine
We are not fine
We are fraught
We are
Not

Excellent. I love the rhyme scheme.
Great Poem. When heartbreak is so fresh everything around you reminds you of that person. That's what this reminded me of and itw as done very well.
This is one of my favorites in the challenge (thanks for the link, L.C.!). You used the form and rhyme scheme so skillfully to chart the reduction of a relationship. The last word lands perfectly.
Loved this one, the repetition really works. That's really how it feels, isn't it. Good luck!
Excellent nonet
