I wanted to post some of my poetry to get your opinion on it... I've been writing a lot lately as a form of self-expression and development... A lot of my poems never make it to Poetry.com because they are just random thoughts but there are a few that I did post... I'll post the others later.. let me know what you think...
Tear-stained Pillow
...for Adrian
I know I'm nothing in your eyes
despite your words to my painful cries...
I'll never live up to your expectations,
the memories and the old relations
I'm fighting to keep my composure
patiently awaiting a day of closure...
I long for you as you long for her...
Will we ever be as you two were?
I know you dream of her at night...
Don't lie to me or try to fight...
I see the distance in your eyes
while we're layin side-by-side...
I sense your pain and frustration...
trying to hide the contemplation...
Hoping she'll walk back through the door
and everything will be just like before...
So I lay here with you and pretend
one day you'll receive the love I send...
Slowly learning how to shield my heart...
fighting to keep from falling apart...
You'll never really know the pain I feel
though you see the tears I try to conceal...
You'll never understand the cries I bellow
as I lay my head on a tear-stained pillow...
