well, i must say that this was a little difficult to read. i twas a little more like a rant, if you will, than poetry. thats the only way i know how to put it... i would say, childish, but thats not quite the case either. it is, however, very unique and if i must say..... pretty good. :)
although i dont care much for how it was written and worded, the way in which you did so, just PERFECTLY captured the speakers frame of mind, and how they are a little bit insane, for the lack of a better word. the speaker was very blunt about their words and actions, and displayed them very well in this case. also, they seem very hurt and scarred, but at the same time, they have an attitude as if they are already over that person who caused them so much pain and suffering. and they dealt with this in a way they believed to be correct.
i really liked the ending, and the very strange style/format. nice dialect as well.
I agree with Morrigan completely. It was a little confusing, but still, really unique, and I believe that that is a good thing. I think the confusion wasn't so much confusion, as it was you trying to display the insanity of the man.. Talking about how someone else had killed the girl, and then at the end of the poem, realization hits, he looks in the mirror and realizes that he's covered in her blood.. that he was the one who killed her.. Most of the poem, it's a battle between, as you said, his good side and his bad side. He's arguing with himself.. and then he realizes that his good side lost, his bad side won, and he lost the love of his life.. Really beautiful job with this, Amanda.
A very sad ending to the poem. To kill the person you love. Leave you in a bad situation. A very scary story in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Very dark and wonderfully disturbing. I felt chills. It amazes me to think that these amazing pieces I read, such as this one, is inspired by true life. What has happened to humans? We are a lost civilation.
