WinterDeity 2008-02-25 ch 1,	there are so many words i could use to describe this..."beautiful", "poignant", "articulate", "divine", "elegant", "superb", "heartfelt" and even "saddening", but a single word, or even simply stringing words together, will never, ever., do this poem justice. i wish there was a way to take the feeling in my heart right now and put it here, but no matter how hard i try, i just keep coming up with more words. all i can really tell you is that i feel for you. right now, sitting in this rather uncomfortable chair, quite possibly hundreds or thousands of miles away from you, the writer, i am feeling for you. you've provoked emotions in me that i haven't known since i went through a loss myself. i wish you the best. and thank you. ~Winter~
Lady Fingers 2007-12-30 ch 1,	this made me love a boy i will never know. "our bridal chamber would have been adorned with respirators and machinery pumping life and death into us. I would have laid with you in that room, watching as the moon grew thorns, and I, reaching my palm out to scratch it, would have captured it - our flag of truth. Togetherness. It would hold you to me, like a tide, flowing like blood, it would rush to your face and then fade away." that whole stanza, i can die now.
breakinginmusic 2007-12-16 ch 1,	I'm crying a little as I type this review. This is such a beautiful, heartfelt piece; like nothing I've ever seen before. The line "You ready Travis?" was what really got me, I think. This is one of the most incredible poems that I have ever had the pleasure to read, but I find myself saddened at the thought of what painful events must've led up to your writing it. I am so deeply, deeply sorry for your loss. He must've been a truly beautiful young man, to inspire the beauty that you have so graciously shared with us. Thank you so much.

Tr APeze-sWiNGer 2007-05-30 ch 1,	I'm witnessing a young friend deal with leukemia right now, and this poem accurately captures the experience. It's the feeling of everything falling away from you in a single instant; one day you're making plans and living, and the next you're sick and everything has changed. Thank you, for verbalizing it
simpleplan13 2007-05-25 ch 1,	Im sorry for your loss (although delayed bc im so behind on fp reviews) I love this poem.. I think its one of your bests.. it flows beautifully from past to present to imagining... its easy to understand but the language is wonderful and the whole piece is heartbreaking and I think everyone can relate to at least one aspect of it... amazing write

Her Wishing Well 2007-04-15 ch 1,	This was beautiful, amazing and sincere. I'm very sorry for your loss.
re x invented 2007-04-10 ch 1,	this was really beautiful. i can relate to some of the emotions, only in my case i was the nameless form holding his hand till the end. i had to read a little bit, walk away for a while, and then read more later. i may have teared up a little. maybe. but don't tell. something like this isn't an easy topic. i admire you for your bravery in posting this here for the whole world to see. i'm happy you did. for some reason, this sorta brought a smile to my face. _till tonight do us part
like a lover 2007-04-08 ch 1,	like someone else has written, my eyes are glistening. this is beautiful and so strong. i love it, writing anything else couldn't do justice to how this made me feel.
ellipsis love 2007-04-08 ch 1,	beautiful and sincere.
Stormer 2007-04-08 ch 1,	This was so beautiful and heartbreaking - you were and are a dear friend to him. A wonderful tribute to a guy who sounds like he was wonderful too. Hugs
sleeping Pisces 2007-04-06 ch 1,	I'm so sorry for your loss. The unfairness of life ripped through the words of this poem, the saddness of it all was all too real. With your masterful use of words, you have captured pure emotion and put it on paper. I'll never know Travis, but he'll be mourned through your writing. I'll remember his name because of these words. With love, Daze
