Wow this is so inspiring. The kind of poem that will give someone courage to get off their knees and try again. Good Job! :)

really great. i love it. i love the repitition an contrasts. great work!

... I feel like crying now... Your poem is beautiful! And so sad... I love reading sad poems.AND thank you for reviewing my poem.

Hey... thanks for the review. I like your work also, this piece in particular. Repition is great in poetry, especially in the mixture of free-verse and rhyming. I really liked the message this poem gave.. that there is more than one option; I'll take no solution... I don't want a quick end. I particularly liked the verse "I'll take my grief, all my despair, all of my sore and torn heart to bear.." I just thought it flowed really nicely. Keep up the good work.

Cheers.

Subdued, yes. Then again, I had 'You're beautiful' by James Blunt on as well, and your poem flowed well with that.

The ending is amazingly wrote, Shadow. The choice stanza was most curious. Well done, DS.
