Is she talking to herself? Its really good but to me it makes me think she is talking to her self. This really hits the reader.

What if I kill myself? What are you going to do?
You're probably going to say: "it depends on the circumstances"
Well, what if I'm richer than Richie Rich?
You'd probably say: "Do I know you?"
Yes, you do
"Well, how close are we?" you'd reply
Closer than two peas in a pod
I bet you're going to say: "Well, I'd wonder why you killed yourself"
I killed myself because of you
"What did I do?" your mind mutters
Oh, not much. Just got a kitchen knife and tore the throat of my beloved
I swear on my own grave that you're going to say: "What? I never did that!"
Don't deny it. After all, I saw you do it.
"Oh yeah? Where's your proof?" is what you're thinking
I sigh. The knife you threw at the garbage can with your bloody fingerprint on it.
"h-how did you know that?" comes out of your mouth in a frightened whisper
I saw you do it
"w-who are you?" would be the wisest response you make
I am you.
"w-what?" when this comes out of your lips, your eyes are bulging
What is it with you and stuttering? I already gave you a clear enough answer: I am you
"I can't help that I stutter" you say with your eyes narrowed. "What do you mean by 'I am you’?"
I'm you're conscience
"W-what? That’s impossible! I can't talk to my conscience" you gasp
You can if you're crazy
Tell me what you think! I wrote this as a spur-of-the-moment thing...

Very interesting. I see someone else caught the grammar, so I'll skip that.
One small thing: when 'I' say that 'I' can't help it if 'I' stutter, I think 'I' should be stuttering. Kind of irony there.
Also, I think you should expand a bit on the part leading up to when he told 'me' who he is. In between 'What is it with you and stuttering?' and 'you gasp.' The ending is great, though.
Yeah. A short review for a short (but great) piece. Really showed the emotion - just try to flesh the ending a bit.
PM me with questions. Stupid migraine is affecting my critiquing skills. ;P

EDIT: Gold star. Also, I'm in love with your avvie. ;P
I really liked it.
At times it could get confusing.
But i liked the voice.
Good.
This was awesome, but sort of weird... which makes it awesome! There should be more stuff like this.
I think this is original, I liked the stuttering, that's something I can imagine someone doing in these circomstances. I only have one thing that sorta bugged me... and your going to think its really stupid.
"h-how did you know that?" comes out of your mouth in a frightened whisper
The word frightened seems pointless here, because they're stuttering, which already shows that their afraid. i would just scratch it, I think it might help the flow.
Other than that, I think its great. I especially loved the ending. Brilliant!

Thanks for a very helpful criticism! I will definitely correct those errors as soon as possible!
First of all, I would get rid of the italics. It's unnecesarily distracting and makes it somewhat difficult to read.

That's really cool! Interesting idea too.
I love the: "What did I do?" line. I could picture someone muttering that. Very interesting and very nice flow. It was odd, which made it cool.
