    So beautiful, so sad. I really like the line of feeling like crying after strangers have touched you. You have done a wonderful write on one night stands and how incredibly lonely they really are.

    Firstly I'd like to say that you write about the subject well and i feel from a truthful point of view. You write open and honestly with raw emotion.

    For a poet,
    the morning after pill
    after a one night stand
    is always a poem
    about feeling hollow
    ^^
    This opening stanza grabs the readers attention and I feel that the use of 'hollow' is a real deep and powerful way to explain using this.

    I left your house full
    of silence, you said I had
    no problem talking
    the night before
    ^^
    The contrast here is amazing and goes to show that you didn't want to get caught.

    the tram had passed
    about five stops already,
    I was
    thinking about how
    I possibly need
    to see a therapist
    ^^
    You 'thinking about how I possibly need to see a therapist' shows hat this happened be wise there are problems going on.

    ...because I always feel
    like crying after strangers
    touch me,
    ^^
    This is the saddest stanza because you let it happen but do not like it as everybody else. It's like what you craved but do not want..

    because as a poet,
    the morning after pill
    after a one night stand
    is always a poem
    about feeling hollow
    ^^
    The repetition here to me shadows the depression like feeling.
