Cascading one by one;
from the creases of my bloodshot eyes
L
down the hook of my polluted nose
O
through the crimson pastels on my lips
V
over the tiers of my cobweb dress
E
and onto the welcome mat that no longer is...

Well, I liked it but it was just okay for me. I think you could've expanded on this poem. I like that the poem kind of tapers off, leaving the reader to wonder why the speaker is crying, but I don't know, I just would've liked it a little longer.
