Wow, that was beautiful... You wrote it very well, I was pulled into it. Guess what! You're my 100th review! Yay! Write on!

This is good, great job!

Wow. I don't know what to say, this sotry has left me speechless and shaken to the marow. The way you link the story itself with the song lyrics is a great idea and masterfully done. There is that double shock, for after the first part when one reads that the whole thing was "only" a dream (though one can guess where such a dream comes from), othe reader is slightly relieved, only to be plunged deeper into anguish at reading the reiteration of that dream in reality. Perfectly written and deeply disturbing.

interesting, Idril. quite.

I relate to this- so well i relate. My story is slightly different, but the emotions in this are the same as what i experienced those years ago. And like the girl in your story, i turned to death- how glad i am now that my suicide attempts were unsuccessful. Of course you are free to print my poem "can't meet your eyes" for your boyfriend- i actually wrote it for my own boyfriend, to explain to him why i rejected his carresses at times. However, I reworked the poem a bit a few minutes ago- put it in stanzas and such- so you may want to print the improved version.

Wow! This was superb. Beautifully written and the song was perfectly suited for it. You have a great talent for writing and this piece of work was so emotional and well thought out. Great work!
