YOU

This is an old poem from several years ago.

YOU.

You're the tears in my eyes
You're the smile on my face
You're the voice in my head
You're that comforting place

You're the scars on my skin
You're the blood in my veins
You're the wound in my mind
... that inevitably stains

You're the nerves in my stomach
You're the shaking in my hands
the problems in my life
that no one understands

You're the air in my lungs
You're my reason for breathing
You're the one still standing
when everyones leaving

You're the mistakes I've made
You're the times that I've tried
You're whats left of a soul
thats long since died

You're the thoughts I deny
You're the time that I waste
You're the best kind of lie
You're the kiss I still taste.

You remind me that it only takes one person to transform our world into the warmest of dreams, and one person to melt those dreams into a nightmare. Find the one who can give you Eden again, Malerie. xo

You mentioned your loved is your scars in more than one poem, for some reason this stands out to me. I've never heard this before.

[Twizzler]

Yes I have, a lot of times it just seems to be the most fitting form of symbolism to get my point across.

[Michael G. Smith]

Touché. It got across because it jumped out at me.

[Twizzler]

I'm glad, that's the kind f reaction I hope for from a reader.

I think I'm still mouthing 'inevitably,' lol--but nice, nice. Again, the language is quite pure.

[Twizzler]

Well thank you again. This particular poem just came out so naturally, I didn't really stop to think when writing this...it was just there.

[Steven]

That's the best way, I think.

This reads like some lyrics. Good job.

[Twizzler]

Yeah, I like to have a particular rhythm when I write poems so that hopefully no matter who reads them they will flow. Thnak you!
