Red Brick around the lip of a pool
keeps back the emotion from the night.
But memories slip from over the ledge
and onto a pillow clenched tight.

Red rimmed edges around tired eyes
hold back the signs of an end.
But my tears slip down my cheek
and onto the silent feather friend.

Your eyes shimmer with beauty
From underneath my pool of tears.
A smile and twinkle were what i missed
because of these controlling fears.

Come back to me (I'll love you)
Hold my hand (I'll hold your tears)
I miss those eyes (Even the glares)
Please stop walking away (I'll run to you)

Young,
Lovin this first stanza.  Awesome description of the "pool" and brick... it works perfectly.  Second one is real good too.
Third, the rhyming seems a bit forced.  The first two had perfect, subtle rhyming.  

Not sure about the last stanza, but the first couple were so strong it still made this an awesome poem.

Nicely done
