Her *Blade*, ,
No One Else

Yeah, interesting style (with the expressive punctuation) , but well structured and written. Loved it, overall.

This poem is written very interestingly. The title especially throws me off. I know this is a good poem, because I have to think about it. The plot was great and the ending was 'Romeo and Juliet'-esque. But, that's no problem because whenever two lovers die it is now referred to as 'Romeo and Juliet'. (That was a compliment) . Great poem! P.S. Check out my poetry!
