The flow, the rhyme, the story within, everything was FANTASTIC! I loved the way the lines were short but kept me hooked through the whole thing with great imagery. Nice work.

O.O... Oh wow. This is impressive... normally when I read poem with such short lines that aren't a continuation of one sentence i don't like it, usually I just don't get it, but this i understood and it was as if I was watching someone go through their life in my eyes with each line.... This was really cool... ^^ Great Job.
