This is very good...although you may want to describe the "this" that "is part of your charm". Otherwise, it had an overall good sense of rhythm, it got a little choppy near the end. Otherwise, great job!!~Sahara~

First of all, this poem was interesting enough to keep my attention all the way through, and the title was enough to draw me in in the first place.

I agree there does seem to be an excessive number of questions in this poem.

Also, I think something needs to be changed in the ending to give it a more satisfactory feel and a bit more impact.

I might suggest changing the last line to something of this nature:

You are everything, but...I want to turn you inside out.

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

It's pretty good, one thing i'd have to say is it seems a bit confusing, at first at least. Maybe a little bit of background stuff? like, why is it she's talking like this? what happened to make her think like this? (also, i'm assuming on the her part ^_^). Anyways, it ended nicely, everything kinda came together, but the beginning could use just a little bit of tweaking.

Just some random points:

1. Although there were some poesy lines in this (Should I turn on my heel and stalk away? or You are everything I wish I could turn inside out) the piece comes off a bit dry because of its plain language. Try and be a bit more poetic. It's mostly prose.

2. There are too many questions in this. Way too many.

3. I like the title and the ending line.

4. You use puncuation well.

5. I think this should be under romance/angst, not just general.

Hmm... Seems like this poem is intended for the perusal of the other party... It would help those unfamiliar (for instance, myself) with the comprehension of this situation if a little more attention was paid to setting the scene, instead of immediately introducing us to the state of current affairs... The final couplet is extremely strong, though - you ought to keep that and perhaps work around it?
