...the subject matter is enough to strike anyone, and the format this was written in drives one to keep reading...wonderful rhythm, and a flawless rhyme scheme...at least that's how I see it... -Darun

awesome premise, the realization of repression, the loss of control, this is beautiful. I think deep down everyone has someone they wish was dead

I agree w/Mystic on this one. This is the most poigniant poem of yours I've read. And of course, I need to say, "Thank you." Something we all need to do more often, just to keep our spirits from breaking. Take care.

now THESE are some damn fine lyrics indeed; i can absolutely hear music behind this... Love that conclusion; and your metre remains faultless throughout. Powerful and compelling words.
