Wow, that was sad. I would say that it's deep but duh it was beyond that because it was real life. The whole family thing sounds semi-familiar because my parents are in the middle of a divorce and are fighting over who gets custody of me and my sister.

"The words slicing into/My very soul/Harsher than the blade could have done."

That was a beautiful comparrision (sp?). It was so sad and so telling.

An awesome line (simple but, according to me, one of the best in the poem) is that personification towards the end: "From where it smiles" -- talking about the knife. I love that line the best, I think, because it just sent shivers down my spine to think of a knife like that. Smiling.

*shudder*

Anyway, awesome poem. I liked how it told a story within it. Cool. And nice ending, too. LoL. I can't have enough praises for this one!

Wow, that was...I'd say deep, but I don't think that's the word I'm looking for. And "interesting" is too fake. It was real. It was good. Well written. I could imagine every part of it. Very, very good.
