In the eyes of a lover

by Nikki   Dec 8, 2006


Wrote this in the eyes of my boyfriend...

She stirs beneath the covers
as though her dreams just not quite right
I wish I could be with her
To fight her demons out of sight

Her skins become so pale
Yet her scars seem brighter now
As I hold her in the moonlight
Shes mine but I dont know how

My fingers gently trace the bumps
Where the blades used to be
This fragile being felt so much pain
Yet nobody could see

I could never harm myself
To stop the pain inside
I just cant seem to understand
What she was feeling at that time

She says its all over now
Shes forgetting all her past
Im happy but cant help to feel
This phase im sure wont last

If she does indeed slip back
I will be there to catch her fall
I will hold her tight and wipe her tears
It seems I love her after all.

    Very nicely written. It is hard to rhyme perfectly, and often takes editing and reediting before it flows. This poem has a lot of powerful emotion that comes through. I, like you, wanted a place to get feedback on my poetry without having to share it with my friends. Hopefully, you can get that here. Good luck!
