  • Very nice reading

  • This one get's me every time

  • I love this poem.

    It actually made me cry.

    I love the line "As though his still raw love were such a crime"

    And how, come the end, the character finds himself acting very much the same as his Father, still ringing the disconnected number.

  • this is shit, i have to do an essay on this for tomorro and i cant be assed!!!!

  • Oh... this one brought me to tears...
