I don't want...

by The Pessimistic Peabody   Sep 1, 2007


I don't want to cry
But all your pain I see
These tears I've held inside
Are overflowing out of me

I swore I'd do my best
To be your pain-proof vest
But now my strength is failing
And I don't want you to see

Fear is my only weakness
Weakness is my only fear
I tried but now have failed
To protect that which is dear

I know you plan to go
So I just want you to know
Whenever you look back
Your wounded angel will be here

    Good piece! You've got an unusual rhyme scheme going on in this one, but i like that you stick to your scheme and don't jump around so that the reader can keep to the poem and not lose your train of thought. Good job on that!

    This is precious. Your sincere heart oozed out between each word. (: Full of several emotions, and a nicely portrayed image.

    Take Care,
    Smiles,
