Yes, I really loved this (sorry if this second review shows up more than once, I keep submitting it but the screen just goes all funny). This is my favorite poem of yours.
Author's Response: It only showed up once, don't worry. : )
I'm glad you liked this, then! And I'm really happy that this is your favourite poem, as it was the first poem I put on MNFF.
Crap, this made me cry!!! :`(
Author's Response: Oh dear, I'm sorry it made you cry! Was it at least good?
I love you so much -
Goodbye.
I just read it again--MAJOR shivers down my spine when I read these last two lines! woah, You are SOOO good! Ever published a poem? 'Cause you could give JKR a run for her money with this poem! 10/10
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I actually HAVE published a few poems with my full name, but that was a while ago and they weren't that good -- or HP-related, for that matter. ^^;
Thank you so much for the wonderful reviews! You have made me squee, spin in my chair, and clap my hands with your kind words! ^_^
I got shivers down my spine as I read this. You're really good!!! 10/10
Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much! I've never gotten a 10/10 before! *is happy*
Aw, I love that poem! So well written and very sweet. You should write some more!

Author's Response: Thank you! I write poems all the time, but most of them don't really relate to HP, so I'm not sure if any more will make it to MNFF. But thank you for reviewing, and I'm glad you liked it!
Wow that was stunning. I really liked it. Lost for words right now, keep on writing!!!
Author's Response: Thank you! (Hope you get those words back, though...) And I definitely plan to keep on writing - I have about five other fics in the works that just haven't been approved yet. But thanks for taking the time to review, and I hope you'll be around when my new stuff gets (eventually) posted! :)
Very nice. Sounded like song lyrics.
Author's Response: Heh... funny you should mention that. It actually *is* a song I wrote (I write songs CONSTANTLY) - I've even tried to compose music for it. But thanks for reviewing, Stubby! :)
oh. my. god. so absolutely exquisitely wonderfully amazingly sad and beautiful
Author's Response: Oh. My Goodness. Thank you for your absolutely exquisitely wonderfully amazingly nice review! ^_^
This was so sad, but so sweet. Great poem!
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing! ^_^
Aw that's so sad.
Great poem though =]
Author's Response: Thank you! Sorry if it was sad, but that was kind of the point... but thanks for reviewing!
Wow. This poem is amazing. There's so much emotion and power and eloquence in it. I'm awed. Truly.
My only nitpick would be that some of the lines seem to end too abruptly and would flow better (in my opinion) if they were kept as one line, not two.
My favorite part would have to be this:
Behind this smile,
I’m crying;
Behind this laugh,
I’m screaming.
Behind this life,
I’m dying;
Behind this calm,
I’m dreaming.
And, of course, the ending. I'm a sucker for repetition, and your ending was just stunning. I absolutely love this poem. You have a lot of talent, and I can't wait to read more from you soon!

Author's Response: Thank you for the very detailed review! I see what you mean... some of the lines ended a bit abruptly. Again, thanks for reviewing!
The poem was beautifully written and is really sweet and sad, I very nearly cried.
Author's Response: Thank you! ^_^ Sorry I nearly made you cry, though.
