Candid Love

She who cries silently. She shines bright, though behind her eyes, She’s filled with fright. A heart so fragile and tormented- Scarred arms and fatigued eyes, She’s scared to be harmed. Her past is tomenting her, Though she continued to give love her all. She gave and gave and gave- Until every piece of her, Was stripped and left bare. She wished to the core, For love that would be- Gentle, tender, Without needing to surrender her soul. A bursting spark, She shivered with fright. A hand reached out in the night, With a soft voice, without spite. “I’m looking at breath taking art.” Lip quivering, she covers her face. Her hair matted, her wounds still jagged. Echoed cries, reminding her of every painful goodbye. A whisper under her breath, “I’ve been scared, I’ve been on my own. I wish to be known”. She let the words escape, in attempt to be brave. Lights flickering, her body shaking, Her voice stuck, she stuttered out loud- W-who are you.. why have you c-come? A silent pause, a soft response, “You’ve carried strain deep in your veins, wishing for gentle hands to hold your pain” The warmth from his hand, Along her chin, her tension surrendering. He noticed her sorrow and grief, He swore he’d never leave. She for once, finally felt relieved.

I'm not into poetry but isn't it supposed to rhyme? Sounds like a whole bunch of whining to me. "Oh my pain" "oh im alone" "oh wont my fantasy guy who doesn't exist come and take care of me" You should send that poem to a therapist.

As the worm moon rises above, turned blood red by the mountains own shadow, So too do the worms rise from below the mountains bones to break winter's silent vigil.

Inspiration

I’ve been writing a lot of sad poems today because (/gestures at the world at large) but I’m also trying to find positive things to write about. I’m finding that it’s a good exercise even when I end up writng poems about my cats or potatoes. Where do you get your inspiration from?

Numbed by apathy, consumed and devoured by my own monotony. A lost wanderer condemned to suffer by some ancient gods, or perhaps by mere odds.

Unsightly Guts To see another truly is to watch them cut themselves open, to let the unsightly guts spill forth for both to witness what’s real, what’s been hidden.
