More poetry....opinions anyone?

This excellent poem comes across as very sad with the writer being extremely distressed - if that is what you wanted to convey to the reader then you have succeeded! My only criticism is the second line. I feel it should read: 'you're better off dead'. Apart from that this poem flows from start to finish without once letting up on the poet's anguish. Phew! Such emotion! I'm hoping that this is fictional rather than a real emotion. If it's the latter I'm worried for you. Take care - you write well, don't throw it away.
