I´ve got it! And both endings actually. It was fun trying to find out how the hell do you play this, but the story turned out to be a bit of a cliché. Well, I can live with that. At least the game itself was something new and exciting. I´m pleased.
For those who need help finding the second ending the biggest hint I will give is that you only need to do one thing differently to get the second ending.
MegMurph: I need a spoiler. I can't figure out how to play?
For anyone having trouble, here's how to get started:

I found it interesting, and an interesting little puzzle. It's like a very stripped down version of the different 'escape' flash games. With poetry.
Brotherofwill: Man that thing had emo written all over it, well until the cheesy Hollywood ending.
Am I the only one not digging this?
If by "emo", you mean "facing personal demons and coming back from depression and possibly being suicidial to find a life worth living", then sure, it's "emo".
At least, that's how I interpenetrated it. And I loved it.

That's a rather unintelligent thing to say. The initial poem was powerful in its darkness, sorrow and simplicity, much like a well-done Haiku. To see it change into something equally beautiful but more optimistic as you progressed was very emotionally strong. Also, the second ending was amazing:

I already said that my emo comment was a joke, just a silly reference to the title of the game and poetry as the subject matter.
I honestly thought that it was pretty mediocre, usually I'm all over games that strive to be different or more intelectually challenging. Second ending was the only thing I really liked :D
That was great. At first I thought it was going to be one of those terribly obscure things taht I would never figure out, but it really wasn't too bad.
As for the second ending though. I guess I'll need to go back for another shot then...
Edit: Got it, that wasn't too hard either. It's pretty much the only thing you can do differently anyway.
