 Fractured Illusion 2008-12-28 . chapter 1Coming at you from the Review Marathon! Link in profile. :)
I think the first line, in comparison to th rest, was the weakest. It relied on cliché wordings. "familiar voice" "haunts my memory"... I mean, really. You can do better. The rest of the poem does it better. And the first line should be awesome to draw the reader in.
As for the entire poem, I liked it. I think you have some interesting wordings and descriptions, which for me makes a poem good! Last line was a nice perspective too, haha. Sort of wicked, sort of doom-ish. But in a good way.

 Jesse the Storyteller 2008-12-27 . chapter 1"when its butterflies" this should be it's.
I liked the line "and his name drips down my fingers", however, ending with "for lift" seemed to ruin it. "For lift" didn't make a whole lot of sense, and the beginning of this line was rather beautiful and original (shocking for a cutting poem). :)
This is the first cutting poem I've ever read that managed to sound almost happy. I don't know why. XD!! Random.
Good job setting the last lines off from the rest of the stanza - it gave them more emphasis. I don't think they needed italics, though, that's kind of over-emphasizing, thus ruining it.
