Invisible

by Twisted Heart   Dec 6, 2006


Sometimes you look right through me like I wasn't there
Not seeing hidden longing of a heart wrenched with despair
You go throughout your day, not noticing the pain
That fills my life with emptiness as teardrops fall like rain

You never see inside my soul and never look beyond
The smile I place upon my lips to help me carry on
Throughout the day you never see the pain that I endure
From broken promises you made, to me they are a blur.

You think that all I needed was security and wealth
But heartache is a lonely thing that messes with my health
Inside my troubled soul I keep a ledger in my mind
Of when you looked right through me, God, so many times.

You never bother asking if I need your company
Or find the time to hold me, as night falls down on me.
A simple little gesture to show me that you care
Seems too much to offer in the moments that we share.

Am I just a token wife, that you know will find
The time to show undying love at any given time
Am I being selfish by demanding more from you
Than this life you gave me filled with solitude.

    I can't find anything that needs to be improved on in this poem.
    You kept up a steady rhyme scheme throughout the poem and none of your rhymes sounded forced in any way which is very difficult to do in most cases.
    The poem also kept up a steady rhythem, as i read, i could tap my finger in time to the words which formed a beat. Excellent!
    I also agree with Frank. It's a difficult subject to try and write about but you did an admirable job.
    So you deserve the 5 and more!
