Sad and really well-expressed. Good poem.

i like how you put glittering in that last line.
luckily, this has not happened to me.

cool. i'm usually not partialto haikus but i liked this one.

hmm...its very nice
but perhaps a thought should be contained within one line?
just a thought :D
it's lovely~

Wow! This was REALLY good... one of the best tankas I've read in a long time... Magnificent job!

That's special. I loved it.

I noticed many people commented on the length, well, if they didn't notice it happens to be a Japanese poem - a haiku. Sarah.. that's a nice name.
I have been interested in Chinese culture from a young age, and influenced by the language and it's people in a very positive way. Something seems to allur me to talented writers, they have clever and inventive pennames that whisper a song to you, and allur you.
I like your poem for its profound, yet subtle effect of drawing us in, paying us, and leaving us with the slight feeling of mystery and sorrow. I am not Christian myself, but find enlightenment in your faith and spirituality, for a lot can be learned nonetheless. I'm assuming you are from mainland China.. perhaps Shanghai or Beijing, no?
I would love to see some more of your work in the near future and will try my best to review some more if possible.

"but all I really knew in/truth were lies"
That has to be my favorite part; the contrast is perfectly placed. A very nice piece, hopefully fiction (I've been lied to before; not a fun experience). Sorry it's taken me so long to read more of your stuff...school, etc.

Bitter, but then again passing the emotion through so few words shows real talent. Good work.

*sigh* Simply wonderful; nice wording selection with 'glittering facade'. By the way, 'facade' is my all-time favorite word (yes, I have a favorite word; go figure). Wonderful work.

Short but extremely passionate and emotional. Great job.

I second what BVR said. ^.^

I agree with everyone else here about this, and I also wanna say that this is beautiful! ^__^, its sad, but I bask in the glory of sad...^_~
