oh how beautiful this poem is. i loved the deeper meaning of this. well done. i think u should write a story based on this.

Great poem.

hmm...nice and soft...if you get what i mean. the fragility of the girl is kind of stereotypical though...but i suppose it's necessary (??).. do keep writing =D

Wow...you have to continue this! I insist...you absolutely must! This sounds fascinating...a guy recovering from a broken heart, and a sad girl..hm...I like where this is going!! (Sorry my review can't be longer...I've got to run errands in a few seconds...)

Cheers and hurry and update!!

that was very well done. i like how you positioned the stanzas. it helped with portraying the tone and assisted in contextual changes. i liked the line "But taught compassion to most,"; it was my favourite and it really hit home. good job. i really like the theme. when i was in hospital i shared a room with this girl and after seeing her suffer so much and still come through beaming with light, i found that i had- as you put it- borrowed her strength. kudos. i hope to see another original fiction come my way with your name on it soon. cya
