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.

Admittedly, I haven't read a lot of poetry, but I really like this. My favorite line was "You're the wound in my mind...that inevitably stains."

This makes me want to read more poetry. Thanks :)
