May 22, 2012 - This is true poetry, I watch this a lot because of it's emotion, it's clever use of cliches and metaphors and just the overall connection I can make. It may be directed towards women, it still however can be used to educate men. On the proper way to treat women. Great work, what an inspiration

May 17, 2012 - Sorry- this comment isn't necessarily about the poem (as my other comments have been). I just feel extremely ashamed that my post made it to the top comments, and I used "their" instead of "they're." Sad.
