abuseThis poem has an interesting perspective. I especially like the last stanza, because it induces thought.

perpetual questions
2008-04-10
ch 1,
abuseI like the metaphor throughout this and the question in the last two lines, which seems confusing at first, but on further examination is comprehensible and eloquent.

Two suggestions: 'Until you finally pried off my fingers'
--It seems to me like this should be 'pried *apart* my fingers', since to pry off one's fingers would mean that they fell off the hand. But maybe that is what you mean.

'Although there was no longer anything to be held.'
--The passive voice here seems unecessary and not as strong or effective as 'anything to hold'.

Anyway, overall nice work.
