    This...

    this is so impactful that I can't even come up with the words to explain how this makes me feel. I cannot relate on a specific level, but I do understand affairs and broken marriages and have seen the affects of that -- and I cannot imagine how you feel. The end about your fathers wife and you being in their home.. that slapped me across my face and stopped me in my tracks. That was powerful.

    This was a 10 for me originally, but I have this thing where I do not like lines broken, I know it is an accepted style of poetry but it is just not for me. What I don't mind is a mixture of prose and poetry and this piece has both. This is a very modern piece of writing. This type of writing is what drags poetry into this century. (The facebook and whatsapp references help). You cannot ignore the emotion in this, it must have taken a lot of courage to put this out there. 7 points.
