    What can you see that I can't?
    Why do you not see me the way
    the others do as they pass by?
    Pity. Coldness. Black.
    They glance without a though
    and toss me into the ember.
    Not you. Never you. Why?
    Warmth. Compassion. Love.
    How do you see these things
    in such a doomed being?

    Overall, I thought this was simple, but also sweet.

    I think that you could have developed the images in this a bit more; the image of being tossed into the embers was good, but you could have also developed the coldness/black feeling you mentioned in the line before, and maybe made an extended metaphor of sorts to wood or other things in a fireplace that are all burned up and gray, with the only semblance of color or warmth being the embers?

    That's just me being **** about things, but nonetheless good job. c:
