chilling. Especaily when you hit the word "knife". I loved it though, you described the Silent SUfferer very well here, and I really felt something. At first I thought this was being told by someone close to the brave one, but then how would the ending fit with that?

emotional.. graphical.. and morbid. i like it! well done. *TI*

Angst at its best. Great poem, excellent allusions used.
