    Chels, :)
    I cannot put this fact into poetry the way you did.. when ropes redden our hands, especially if the rope is thin. And I like this image if you intend that the rope is thin, this means that the love can slip instantly between two seconds. I felt at first heavy-chested because your words have a great impact on the reader.
    Brilliant.

    I don't think I have ever read a more creative way of saying "we are in trouble" It flowed nicely, deep and powerful emotions ruled the theme. Excellent

    This poem reminded me of the song slowly dancing in a burning room.. Or something like that.Haha I'm nor good at remembering song titles.

    I like the creative idea, and the way you kept the reader into this piece.

    Excellent poem... and an amazing vent of your frustrations. Don't you love how poetry can be a venting station, it is for me. I really liked how you used the concept of the rope and burning hands to describe the progression of things and the knot at the end as a last attempt to stop the madness. the metaphors and words you use in your poetry to me is top notch.

    Wow, that was an amazing poem and definitely intense i agree with that, I like the title, didn't know what to expect, but I really loved the poem that I opened up to . . . it's a sad poem, but your metaphor is awesome in the first stanza about the rope and the knot that stopped you from sliding all the way down, and then perfectly ending the poem with a last attempt and trying to fix it, by saying, will you pull me up and heal us. . . very good poem :)
