A fascinating poem, I'm almost at a loss of words as to what to say about it... Almost feels twisted and askew, but it's extremely engaging throughout. There's a beauty to the ugliness, it stays with you long after finishing reading it. Bravo!

I've never heard that point of view before. I've known people who feel that way-a badge of honor. It is inside someone's head, reading it like a newspaper.

Astounding art!

I like this because it's an interesting point of view. I also love the descriptions because they are unique and really pretty. The only thing I might say is some punctuation might help the piece. Other than that really great job!

This is the most...touching, revolting, mesmerizing poem. I love it and I hate it, but I'm supposed to aren't I? I'm loath to find you've put something so horrible into such a beautiful poem, but it's good, it's very good.

I guess I can understand why people think of abuse when they read this, but what comes to mind for me is merely a love so fierce you can't hold back. It isn't a bad thing necessarily if you're sore the day after, or for a few days.

hmm... I've never looked at ...well.. i presume domestic abuse... in that light before.

Very beautifully written...

Hope things are OK with you.

this is beautiful, although i'm not sure if i'm correct on what it's about. everything okay on your end?

rowan.

when i think of this poem, i think of the novel "Twilight".

excellent adjective use, and your imagery was splendid.

great topic too, you executed it well.

Not sure what to say about this one. But it is interesting.

It's a take on what I assume is...well, something like domestic abuse? It's a different way to go about it since I never thought about it that way, but this is written very nicely.
