- "Eyes have always been said to be windows to a person's soul, perhaps when those eyes can finally lie, the soul is lost. There's venom here, but a delightful brand, your work is consistently enjoyable, I find."

- "There is always a doubling of pain in your works. The exterior one that is in the poem and a far far greater interior one that is in the unwritten parts.
From how I read them. Cuts both ways."

- "WOW. I have to say, I've stumbled across your writings, and I may have to upgrade just so I can bookmark you.... Every piece I've read has just locked on dead center with me. This one is no exception. Brutally incisive. ~b"

- "The title didn't lie, that is for sure.It is a good stab in the eyes, this piece, without a doubt.Can't be more direct than that."

- "i really hold that true. that not feeling is the worst "feeling" of all. it scares me. and really, i think that it isn't that i don't feel anything, i am just choosing to ignore what i am feeling. which makes me feel as if i'm lying. which makes me feel worse. and i just gave up giving up. it doesn't do me any good. i feel what i feel. LOL. cool write. thanks."

- "i echo these thoughts and feelings....usually when i'm uninspired about the world...what is the point of achieving more than mediocre when we all end up the same anyway...dead and buried, for what purpose would all the time and effort be? maybe there is no time....everything is temporary, even these futile thoughts...what is the point and purpose of conjuring these thoughts...lol damn! thank you for seizing this...-=*AK*=-"

- "Of all the newer poets to this site (perhaps you're a returning member though?) you are my favorite. This poem is just an example why. I have this fear, most people struggle with this same fear but could I possibly wrap all these sentiments up in such few words and tie it with a pretty ribbon like you? Probably not. And this is so appropriately title as well. Sigh. All I can say is harness that fear and use it to always push yourself. Sigh again."

- "The curling of lips is such a visceral image to me, like paper yellowing and burning away into a sneer of contempt.
Your work, rich as always; I could read for days."

- "Yes I know how this feels. It hurts like crazy... Your words are amazing, got right through to me... I can relate. Cheers"

- "hah, understandable. I strive for optimism, but typically get caught up on the little things that make the big picture look so bleak. One day, one day."

- "I too have said and done nothing for the sake of pride... it makes you wonder why. Feeling indifferent yourself is one thing, but to have someone be indifferent to you is near torture. I can relate to this, thanks for sharing"

- "ahhh, yeah, I see... I like the notion of weakness in the way you've presented pride. makes sense and more thoroughly considered than typical. I think the optimist in me will opt for the complacency being worse, heh.... best of all words? (I type facetiously) as Leibniz would say, maybe. thanks. "

- "I believe pride plays a part simply because it's at that moment that one has the choice to either fight back, and show weakness, and a need for another person, or let them go and show the strength go on alone. Pride is a fickle thing, one that I will never fully understand. And yes, the subjectivity is more directed at her here, and the way that the same thing can make people feel so different at different times in life. I often wonder what would happen if the human mind decided to stop making life and love confusing for us. Would we be happier, or would the complacency be worse than the heartache that we have now?"

- "interesting... how one makes another become... makes me think about whether or not one can 'make' another happy... what are the dynamics of relationships, of being-with, that influence or even cause one to become other than what they were... fine lines to be traced. subjectivity... somehow I want to tie this title to her reaction more so than to the persona of the poem. I love the description of the anger, the intensity, I think I've experienced this occasion, part of my marriage scrapbook, I think... I wondered at the pride part, why pride would not let the speaker... when it seems to be in the interest of pride that one would want to stop the humility, maybe. but... these are just my thoughts upon reading this on this fine morning, thanks."

- "you captured the heaviness of the emotion felt when love leaves so very well... my heart aches and i am finding it hard to breathe easily. i wish you light and love in your future."

- "'because the way I see you in poetry
is the same way I see myself in your presence.' ... something , there , lay untranslated ... I just read your name backwards ... sigh ..."
