I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days
and wonder if I'll feel that way again
you look at me
with those eyes I know so well
always serious, so deep and insightful
as though you're always in control
But not today
not now
Now you look so scared
like for once you don't have the answer
I gaze at you
looking deep into those hazel eyes
Hoping to understand
why you've said those things you did
I wonder for a moment
if this is all a dream
if I shall wake in the morning
and be relieved
you look at me
with a confusion I have never seen
slowly pull me towards you
and wipe the tears from my cheek

very raw. i like this a lot. a very unique flow on it too. it's got that style of yours that i'm starting to become i real fan of. =)
almost always actions will speak louder than anything we could say. and that's what this was about. sometimes the questions and answers we think up can just be wiped away, like tears, in an embrace. sometimes an embrace says it all.
good work, good vibes.

and the time is always right.

then the music plays all night."

most of the tears we cry are because someone hurt us...its just to bad that all they will do is wipe the tears away...you showed so much feelings in the poem that i felt like i was in your place...keep up the good work...

L_K :
Thanks so much for reading!!  I'm glad you enjoyed the poem.  

ERIN:  It is too bad that all they can do is wipe away the tears after they have hurt us, however sometimes that's enough to make it seem a little better, to show that they still care, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This is a wonderful poem.  You express so much emotion.  It is always hard when someone hurts you in any way.  SOmetimes, words can be the worst kind of hurt ever imaginable.
