Show...

by Rusted x Heart   Oct 8, 2005


Show these words just how to mean,
Just what it is they can't convey,
Show these lips just how to speak,
And find out what they cannot say.
Show these eyes just how to read,
Each thought throughout your mind,
Show me how to lose myself,
In the part of you I cannot find.

Show this soul just how to trust,
A twin of it's own kind.
Show this beating heart to forget,
The things of which you remind.
Show these eyes how to turn blind,
The very second ours combine,
Show them how to realize
You're not looking straight at mine.

Show this foolish heart to know,
That yours belongs to another,
Show me how to deal with it all,
Now that I've lost my cover.
Show me why these breaths they flow,
From a body that no longer lives,
Show me how to receive love,
That of someone who wont give.

Let me show you what I feel,
My emotions through these veins,
Let me show you happiness,
And the purest of my pains.
Let me show you what you do,
With this lonesome, beating heart
Let me show you how to deal,
Always returning to the start.

Let me show you how to die,
For that only special one,
Let me show you to untie,
And slowly come undone.
Let me show you one last thing,
One thing you shouldn't forget,
I was the one who was all yours,
...The only one that wasn't kept.

    I'm hoping you've found someone to "show you" since this write. You're really very talented and I enjoy reading your poems. Overall it flowed flawlessly until the last line. I'm not sure of the change there. But good job.

    This is a very moving poem indeed. I know I said constructive criticism but I'm finding it difficult to offer anything but praise. The poem was well written and thought out. I liked especially how you went through the entire body and emotions asking to be shown. The flow was almost faultless too.
    There was a couple of line’s I didn’t understand however. "Let me show you how to deal,
    Always returning to the start." I feel could have been worded better. And so could the very last line "...The one only that wasn't kept."
    You also had a spelling mistake, fifth stanza, line six.
    Well done, this was a very enjoyable poem. Keep up the great work.
