This is REALLY awesome... wish I could hear the notes. I have a lot of boredom time at school, too! :) I think this is beautiful - especially:' As the blade sweeps a fatal kiss 'I used to songwrite with someone, but we don't hang out anymore, so I'm finding it really hard. Anyways, poems are my thing. Back to your song, lol I keep going off on tangents (thats spelled wrong i know), It was really and totally fabulous. keep it up.

write on,

I think this poem would of done a lot better to be more subtle. You have a talent for poetic language and this one was just a little off. Basicailly, it sounds like a Good Charlotte ballad. You do bring out the good stuff every now and again like this line, "Her hope is just an extinguished flame/As the blade sweeps a fatal kiss/" but mostly it's just another run of the mill suicide poem. Nothing we haven't seen before.

But I think the main problem is that you just go out and tell us. I'm not saying you have to hide what you're trying to say behind a wall of metaphors but you could do better than to just come right out and tell us. I think a better way would be to show us. I'm not sure if this is making any sense. But if you're going to write a suicide poem I would say you need a ton of talent to make it sound fresh and original and with this one, I just have that feeling like I've read it all before.

But anyways, keep trying and working at it and I'm sure you'll be able to achieve something better.

Song's catchy, although not sure the beat I set was right; my internal clock is messy :D

Very powerful. I like the way you use so many outside influences that bring this girl "down," in a way. A very nice piece.

Pretty good. I had to say i had trouble finding a beat, like the meter is off or something. (count of beats) Sounds like somehting out of Linkin Park's cd (good thing) Keep it up.
