My eyes hold the pain

by Krysten   Aug 10, 2012


I can't let you look into by eyes
To see the pain they hold
I believed in you
And all that you fortold

I never questioned your words
Blindly put my faith in you
And here i stand heartbroken
Once again i lose

I suppose i did this to myself
Should've seen how it would end
How could i compete
In the end she wins

no-one left to turn to
No shoulder to weep upon
Tears left to dry on my cheeks
Heartbroken and so alone

    I agreed with the above mentioned..review some errors and it better if you will capitalize the "I".
    Any way, I can picture out the feeling and emotions of the persona here..it feels so bad that you always left alone...nice piece and keep writing:))

    I can't let you look into by eyes
    To see the pain they hold
    I believed in you
    And all that you fortold

    - by = my.
    -fortold = foretold.

    - it is a good opening stanza, I love eyes and how much they can tell, and this shows you are hiding things behind them that will take a lot of trust for someone else to be able to see if you let them.

    I never questioned your words
    Blindly put my faith in you
    And here i stand heartbroken
    Once again i lose

    - i - should always be capatalized.

    - this is sad and happens far too often in life, when you mention the blindness this caught my attention because often we try so hard to find the good and positive things we overlook or ignore any bad things.

    I suppose i did this to myself
    Should've seen how it would end
    How could i compete
    In the end she wins

    - again i should be capitalized.

    - I feel the self blame and regret here for letting this person close to you and ending up being broken hearted from them. I also like how you added a 3rd person, this added a bit of curiousity.

    no-one left to turn to
    No shoulder to weep upon
    Tears left to dry on my cheeks
    Heartbroken and so alone

    - I like the use of weep upon, usually I read cry or lean upon so this made your poem a bit more unique. I also like the idea of the tears drying on your cheeks, emphasising there is no one there to dry them for you.

    Sad poem and one which a lot can relate to, I would suggest adding in some commas and full stops to break the poem up and allow the reader to read the poem how it is meant to be read. it makes a very big difference.

    Well done on this.

    Could use a proof reading for grammatical purposes as has been stated above, but thats sort of nitpicky, i was quickly able to guess what you meant. its an interesting bit because its about something just about everyone can relate to. everyone has a time when they feel or even are entirely alone. the way its written envokes a kind of... shatteredness and the specific dialogue lends it a sadness.

    Needs editing as mentioned previously. Love the flow as usual with you, and the feelings and emotions were clearly expressed and understandable.

    I completly understand how this feels. having no one because you lost them all, or they just left you. good job. :)
