Note - This might seem like a love poem at first but it's not...it's actually rather tragic if I had explained it. But since it's fresh for me..there will be more to come.


Look into my eyes dear,
and listen to their melody
Oh but please don't run away
for I'd never crush a rose
Please do not give up on me,
the way the rest of them have
Please don't make me lie to you,
the way I fool the rest
My smiles are not always pure,
please recognize when they're not
Speak not a word,
ask no questions
but please love don't let me be
Hold me untill it all fades away
Please don't make me be strong,
this armor is becoming much too heavy
If I am cold, please understand
the anger that lies within
I used to be innocent too, you know
although I cannot remember those days
Those days that seem like centuries,
were only a few years back
But back is a place I shall return to
So please love, hence forth
and lead me the way
For these eyes have been burned
by the tears held inside
But if I cannot find your hand,
my love I will understand
This body was never meant for your praise
This soul was never meant for the sun
So I'll lurk in my shadows,
please don't stay for me
I'm sorry my love,
for the misery brought upon you
But realize my fair prince,
that I had loved and I had cared
and for once my soul had been spared
For this I am thankful
and for this I mourn
because now as I see you turn away
all that was left is now crushed and torn

Wow....this describes me- but my love hasn't left me yet. I fear the day that my tempestuous, selfish nature will scare him off though.
