If love is watching someone
die, do you love
me enough to kill me?

AAAAAAHHH. Why was that so short!? It was like... Do you know how sometimes one question can simply change your whole world? It's like that. You took the words someone said, twisted them around, and sent them back with power. But you ASKED. (Sorry for all capitals, I don't have any italics or anything on my iPad.) Still, you question those twisted words, but not because you were confused or afraid. You asked a question to intimidate the person you were asking. And when you asked, you knocked everyone over in the process. I don't think anyone suspected you were scared. This is beautiful. I hate you because of this. I love you because of this. I don't know what to do with myself because of this. This is fantastic!

This is so short yet so powerful and emotional and heartbreaking that I can't even explain my feelings for it. Great work

I enjoy how short and simple this poem is. It gives a lot of thought when I read it. I continue to read over it more then once.  Your word choice is powerful and revoking. The use of the words love, die, and kill, they all work together so nicely in this poem. I like how you repeat love more than once to show the importance of the word in this short poem.
