Thanks for the suggestion, but
it's exactly the structure I was going for. I wanted the last word of each line to repeat in that pattern.

With all due respect to eleven_eleven, and no confrontational dispute intended, I must honestly disagree with the comment about the need for more variation in the words. The verbal structure of the words certainly does produce the effect intended. Also, while reading your poem, I was reminded of some of the words and phrases from T. S. Eliot's poem, The Hollow Men. The effect produced so successfully in your poem arises, I believe, from what is called epanalepsis and epimone. Edgar A. Poe, who is not really one of my favorite poets, uses repeition quite skillfully in his poem, "The Bells."
Again, I am not trying to be disrespectful toward eleven_eleven. I am admittedly the most minor of minor internet poets, but I structure of this poem, which definitely conveys the emotion you described within it.
