As I look around myself
I see 4 figures
Split up evenly in gender
I turn - first to a guy whom..
His face is shadowed, his eyes are dark
The love that he once held for me..
Dead. Faded slowly into the drifting winds..
Turning again, I see
A woman.
Poised to turn and walk away
Her back turned towards me
Her feelings for me are also..
Dead. Thrown into the ocean, slowly diffusing through the water
I turn again and I see..
A guy whose eyes have bled
Scars reopened then patched up again
His arms opened to me
He loves me.
I turn yet again to find..
A weeping girl
Who thinks she's alone
Whose tears have soaked her hands
And my heart.
She loves me.
I turn one final time
And see myself..
She looks like me
But something's amiss...
She's bleeding from her scars
She holds a dagger
A grin is visible upon her face
This girl is not me...
I close my eyes and open them again
I am alone in my room once more...
That was so powerful! So emotional, I could hear pain but I could see longing for acceptance. Your poem is brilliant. You are very talented. Don't ever stop writing the more you write the better you will be.
