A Poem by Not here

You say that I can trust you

but you don't know what that means.

Love is such an easy thing

when you can't even see my screens.

I wear my heart on my sleeve

and a screen on my chest.

And I'll always have a darker side,

even if I'm blessed.

I'm lost in my own mind,

and I worry that you'll leave.

If I spend too long in there

you might forget what you believe.

And then your beliefs will change,

and you'll find yourself another man.

Even if I try my best,

I cannot help but doubt the plan.

Sometimes it's just too dark

for me to ignore my own heart.

And I then begin to see

how all of my life falls apart.

'Cause I had a light inside

but everyday it's cracking more.

And I'll break, fall to the floor,

if you ever slam the door.

I've used up all my words

trying to explain how I feel.

At the end of the day,

I guess I'll let you take the wheel.

'Cause I love you all the same,

and still my emotions are

tearing us apart

and carving into me a scar.

But I'll hand you my knife

and see if you can save the day.

'Cause I call you my superwoman,

and you are in every way.

I'm a different person

than the one you'll ever see,

but if I'm a hidden treasure chest

you're holding my only key.

Beautiful love poem, Dante.

Love following lines in particular : I wear my heart on my sleeve
and a screen on my chest.

Well done. :) Rudi

Heavenly father I think I'm in love.
Dante!
Whenever I get a read request from you I always get excited!
Because I never know what to expect.
Well..I always know to expect good work from you but it's always something different
Always something a lot of people can relate to
Always something that everyone can read and like
and think "Wow, why isn't this guy famous yet?"
With that said...you didn't disappoint me!
I really enjoyed reading this
It flowed effortlessly and it was beautiful
I could feel the tension.
The emotion it gave out!
Thank you very much for always giving your all!
For always writing from the heart
And also...for never disappointing me!

Your new biggest fan in the whole universe

But I'll hand you my knife
and see if you can save the day.
'Cause I call you my superwoman,"

This was my favorite stanza...And a zinger of a close.
The treasure metaphor was clever and very good prose..
Sometimes though we gotta sacrifice some bit we love because we ended the piece already..perhaps find a place for the treasure piece earlier!

The impact was so strong with the close "call you my Superwoman." I'd definately capitalize that..Superwoman..if its meant as a heartfelt title or name..again impact.

But the poem was delicious! Loved the tenderness and passion....by Gawd you're gonna love her and let her know it!!
Great ink!

Love and respect

This is really amazing Dante. I really enjoyed reading this poem especially the last stanza. I spotted one mistake. In the second stanza, And then you're beliefs will change- I think it's meant to be and then your beliefs will change. But apart from that this is a really great poem and thanks for sharing Dante :)
