Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
Some grammatical errors and punctuation issues, but nothing a proof-read or some editing wouldn't fix.
Good idea and presented in an appropriate psychotic manner, if a little underdeveloped.
I love when a poem can paint a vivid picture of violent acts in my head with few words. Brutality is what this makes me envision and I loved every second.
I thought this was really good! I loved the layout and the language was beautiful. I did wonder though, whether you really need the elipses at the end. I think the poem would come to a much more powerful finish if you simply used a full stop. As the voice of this poem seems perfectly certain that 'you made me do it' it would be shown a lot more clearly if a full stop was used.
Keep up the good work!
Hello! This poem was great. It was brilliantly written and it made me think as well. Truth be told, it was amazing, actually.
The emotion in it and the imagery was great. I could see the beat up body and the hurting hands. So great job there. So, on to the review. My comments and corrections will be next to the stanza/line.
Overall, this was a great poem. The depth of the story and the emotion emotted through it was spot on! Excellent job.

This poem left me to wonder and it was very sad in a abusive way.

I liked the way you decided to end this piece.
But Im not letting you
Slip between my fingers.
You made this happen.
You made me do it...
Good job! keep up the good work and congrats for the feature.
To say I liked this poem would be a lie. To say I loved this poem would not. This was a brutal poem in the sense that people can be "forced" to do things for love and see it as justified. This was a beautifully written poem in the sense that it is something that could easily happen physically or emotionally. The rhythm was also very good and the word choice that you had was excellent. And it was dark and creepy and brutal and awesome and... Yeah. Well writ.
Hi!

If I may say so, I think that this poem is written rather brilliantly. The poem had an unreliable narrator, which can be confusing and strange if it's not written correctly, but I think that you wrote very well. You let us in into the narrators head whilst giving us clues about what really happened. The way you dropped the clues was done very subtly, which added to the mystery of the poem. The poem is also somewhat short and vague, but I would keep it like that as it adds to the whole effect of the poem.
I don't have any criticism here. Keep writing!
I'm impressed! Judging from personal experience, I feel like you've done a wonderful job capturing the (sadly disillusioned) mind of an abuser.
I love love love the way the first two lines and last two lines of this stanza mirror each other.
Just a small change - I made "leaving" lowercase.
Apostrophe in "I'm".
I also changed the ellipses to a single period. To me, the ellipses really suggested that the narrator is thinking about what he's (she's?) done. The period is more solid - "this is your fault."
But that may just be me.
Overall, I am extremely impressed by this poem.
