Another beautiful poem. Your works are magic, plain and simple.

i liked it.

Lyrical.

I'm glad you were inspired, as I always look forward to reading your updates! I like the contradictions in this piece, especially in the third stanza. I thought your play on words with 'striking' and 'lightning' was really well done.

wow, one of my favorite pieces by you. Very, very good work. Excellent job :)

Great poem! It has a good flow to it; the way you broke it up and used italics added to the emotion.

The second stanza was my favorite. ^_^

I am not much of a poetry person, but I did appreciate this. It had a certain rhythm to it that I think had a smooth flow. It was easy read (some poems are choppy and makes little sense but yours didnt)

This is cruel words portrayed. I have no clue which people are being compared, but it almost makes me believe someone makes this comparison about herself (comparing with someone she deems as alive?). Or someone who is bitter about the not-as-beautiful girl. Dunno really, but either way I liked it :)

Here is an odd wording though:
"And she’s beautiful
No more beautiful than usual"
Can't you just skip the "beautiful" on the second line? You didn't write like this in the other italics and it just gives a better reading in it is removed.

Still, a nice read. Keep it up!
