Flipper from the Review Marathon (link in my profile)
I like this poem. My favorite bit of it would be the de-idealization of love from its typical lofty place in the stars (love cures all and whatnot). I like the fact that you say that love can't do every miracle because it brings the poem down to earth and makes us all feel closer to the subject matter, regardless of whether or not we're currently in a relationship.
However, you say we help ourselves to heal as a conclusion, but near the beginning you say that you can find healing in love... the inconsistency weakens the piece a little.
