when I held a pair of scissors by the blades

Wow! No question this is a finely-crafted piece of writing, but the theme is chilling. I hope you still don't have that bit of residing deep inside of you. Thanks for sharing even though I cringed!

Sometimes accidentally happens some unexpected events in life; the unexpected events sometimes come to the mind and remind in the bothering ways; as if these events are importunate passion for the life; this poem very perfectly penned about accidental events of life where human is stricken again and again.

Lol. He was a handsome narcissistic masochistic toad. I hope she married him and put cyanide in a beaker and asked him to quench his live with oxycyanocobolamin...i mean what a mean suitor only suited to the abyss of sadistic love. Great poem full of...love

A teenager's romantic move may be a bizarre affair before it is accepted. Exquisitely crafted beautiful poem. Thanks a lot.

Am Very Bothered.excellent title for a poem with eerie things done in the past. But to regret is oft the best deed or the inner emotive feelings.(for the evil things done in the past at 13 years) and for the readers as a clear example in life, as we all can read in this poetry. It remains eerie. We as the readers all have the mature age.Hurray for this choice of PH as the Modern Poem Of The Day for the second time. Once in 2017.

Vivid, reflective, artful way of culling and telling a story of a memory.As well calls upon a lot of wonder as to what a proposal is.
