    Wanting you to see me for who I am, Unique.
    --------------------------
    Angie I enjoyed this poem very much and yes your being unique does shine through so very brightly
    -------------
    Waiting for your reality's eclipse.

    Your choice of words were simply amazing , This was such a well expressed poem where you let your emotions flow so freely that although it was written in the depths of pain I felt such a beauty flow by your eloquent expressions . This is the first of yours I have read but I will surely be reading more

    "I lay here muttering in my sleep
    Thinking of only you;
    Cutting up my words before I speak."

    An effective introduction, really captures the essence of the poem in the first three lines, it also makes the reader want to read on. I liked the use of the title in the first stanza.

    The form is nice, and easy to read, easy on the eyes too, I admire how you've done this :]

    "Sucking out the unkown words from my lips
    Drowning me in shame;
    Waiting for your reality's eclipse."

    Really bitter and well put together, 'reality's eclipse' was such a great metaphor to use!

    "Not able to listen for reasons untold
    My heart hurting;
    Wings yearning to fly past the unkown"

    Just a little typo 'unknown', but the repetition of it adds a mystery and dark feel to the poem, it's a twist as you've turned an angst ridden love poem into a dark and mysterious ballad.

    I loved the ending too, it wasn't a typical sad ending, its like the character beleived in her/himself, really good work as usual, well done :]

    (I'm awful at commenting peoples work, I'm sorry!)
