I don't know what tense I'm in. Are we or were we? Will we be?
My syntax has gotten entirely mixed up and I can't find the articles I need to modify my nouns.
The subject of my sentence is a different person and number from my verb.
Prepositions have disappeared -- I am going nowhere.
You pushed me away and I am nothing but a fragment of the sentence I once was.

"I can't find the articles I need to modify my nouns." I think this would be stronger if you elaborated, because I'm not sure of which nouns and of which articles you are thinking. It kind of gets lost.
I love the line about prepositions. It made perfect sense when I read it. I also think that it's ironic that there aren't any prepositions in that line
I also like the way that the poem ends, but I think that it's interesting that the entire poem is written in complete sentences, but in the poem you talk about the degradation of your grammar. Maybe it would be more powerful if the grammar in the poem disintegrated as you become a fragment.
It's grammar. I love it

Good taimes...
and of course there weren't any prepositions in the line about having no prepositions. that was my favorite to write, except for the first line because that had been stuck in my head for a couple of days.
suggestions for articles? I kinda just threw it in because articles are a part of speech.
yay grammar!
