I like this, I really do. It's powerful and beutifully written.

Thanks for you review.-Lisa

ah that is soo very sad i hate abuse but you put the point of the person being abused on paper in the perfect way!

fucking awesome. (emphasis on "period")

Wow- I love your work! You're on my favorite author's list ;) I want to be a teacher too. Good luck ) Seriously, that's a great poem. If you want you can R&R mine; I'd appreciate it! thanks...

wow O seemed like she was in denial before and then you saw the change in her, the confidence beginning to flow away out of the wounds she has. and then, the was no love... beautiful actually. i have one favourite line in particular:

It’s never complete, the pain. Never all-consuming. Just enough to break my spirit, yet keep my body standing.

too true. I could laugh right now 'cause i just realised it. and it's sad how many times you think of it, but it never hits you. meh. awesome work here hun,

Nicely done. Very thought provoking. If only more women would come to that realization sooner. Great job, and thanks for the review. :)

Brief. Cliched, but beautifully so. Very nice.

of depressing though.

i am sore right .

i liked this. you described it well.

So sad and tragic. Great poem.

wow! i like the repetition, and then the final ending to it. lovely work!

Aww... so sad, but smart to finally realise that there's someone better out there. Someone who will treat you like you should be treated. I really like it!

Poignant and tragic in a way, until the end. Very subtly described to get the point across. I like the realization that comes out at the end of this. You've described well a situation that many can not get out of. Good work.

That was really good. That earns you a spot on my favorite authors list!

i liked the lines that were long - it flowed nicely. i liked the repetition and only slight variation of that one line and then i liked how you made it negative at the write.
