    This is wonderful and pretty different from your poems .its beautiful :)). I didnt see any flaws either :)).

    First stanza- the first two very lines made the poem pop with sadness and made the reader think. What did the writer do?? Did they end it all or just pretend to??. Great opening to lead up to the rest of the poem. I love also how you want to feel someone or something as toend the pain that you are feeling. And the pills to help end the pain of a life so sad. I like how you wrote aboutthat death is thr only escape to fully feel alive and to truly feel no more pain and how the ghost of your memory will keep you safe. ExExcellent set up.

    Second stanza- pondering whether its worth it is something a lot of people struggle with. Oh also that my human life will end meaning you will be together with you love for eternity. The title of the poem was used beautifully here. Decribing death as the only way to hold her hand. Everyline about how you did kill yourself was pefect and it again sets up nice.

    Ending- right off I love how you used purgatory instead of hell. Because thats where ghosts go. Again it has a twist love ending as you will be together forever and that is what both spirits wanted. This is a beautiful piece. 5.
