You are seriously talented. This was really thought-provoking and vivid. The way you paragraphed it and used italics and bold made the effect so potent. The style is very original and I love it. I LOVED the way you were talking about the drugs like friends- really made the poem seem so real, as if I was inside Gerard's head and could feel what he was thinking. Simply brilliant. It made him come alive, I think.
This is so going in my favourites- it's wonderfully real in such a sad kind of way.
Whoever the fuck rated this down is going to be hunted down by Be My Detonator Gerard's herd of bloodthirsty meese and snacked on for their breakfast (If you don't read BMD, you'll probably just think I'm insane...you're probably right :L). They were probably just jealous. Don't let them bring you down; you have something special.

Thank you very, very much! I'm pleased that you found this to be thought-provoking. I was worried that the formatting (bold and italics) was confusing/annoying, so it's a relief to know that you thought it worked.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely, friendly review. You really have made me smile! :)
