More perfect lies

Nothing to do with the title

You truly care for me
Whipe tears from my eye
Yet how do I repay you
By failing everytime I try

You are an angel
Here protecting me
But I am in the dark
Where you can't see

You are a guide
I need to thank you
But I want to say sorry
For what I've put you through

I am not worth your kindness
Your arm around me when I cry
Yet how do I repay you
By failing everytime I try

What I like most about this poem is the natural flow and imagery you put into it. Very well done. I think you beat yourself up for no reason. The rhyme in the stanza's was good and the repetition also--equally balanced. Again, always try to proof read your writing in order to make it the best you can; you know little things like mispelling the word "truly" in the first line. Look into those things. The first and last stanza's were beautifully done. The second and third were a bit choppy and interrupted the nice effect you had going. Again, thanks for sharing. Keep writing. Gionelly*KiSS

I like how you show the feelings of the writer to the reader. This poem was beautifully depressing. Great job!

... beautiful, even though it is a bit depressing. It's depressing in a good way! (It has a few spelling mistakes, but eh, who cares.)

I like the repeated 'Yet how do I repay you / By failing every time I try', it's very telling!

Poem is very good. Hard to put into words when we feel are not content. Life is give and take. In the poem you are thankful. That showed a good heart. In love repayment is not necessary. Sometime just to hold the one you love is a gift. A excellent poem.
