Dark Secrets

Lights Out... You can't find what you can't see. I’ve become a clouded face, unrecognized

DARK SECRETS

 

These eyes Tainted and Scarred,

The Heart restless behind bars,

A Soul lost between then and now

 

I’ve become a clouded face, unrecognized,

A Shadow within materializes

Unaware, there’s no time to prepare,

Unleashing its fury for all to bear

 

Strength it feeds from those who care,

Twisting and turning words and stares

Form is now what I once was,

It’s Poison if any… One of Love

 

Shadow now I, fight I try...

For those I hurt, my words are lies

Understand I cry, I feel your pain,

Ball and Chain, I am restrained

 

Pleasure filled, Darkness slips away,

Face left to those I've betrayed

Strength to hold on, You reach for my hand,

Smiling and Scarred, Your eyes Understand

 

SHADOW lingers and laughs within,

Your LOVE inside, he cannot win

I love the minimalism! I love the shortness of the statements to really pack the punch of the emotion displayed! The only constructive work I would do is maybe some constructive imagery to tie the emotions to something I can see or feel, it feels alot like there are so many things felt blending all together I don't know where to start!

Great job, keep it up!

[MissMushyy]

All I can say is WOW. It really brings out the pure emotion of someone that feels in love with someone else but can not find the words to say that they love them and is trapped between

[BlueLagoon]

This poem spoke to me. You accomplished exactly what every poet/writer aspires to do. Great job.

[Valorie J. Shearer]

I read this a few times, and it feels like your words are speaking of death, the end of love, life, your whole existence but the love inside you can take with you, he {death} cannot win.. I thought it was very moving, well done! Take care~~~

[Phibby Venable]

I would like to sit here and tell you how wonderful this was, what all I liked about it and what make it so great....but all I can really say is it was elegant, enchanting, and beautiful.

I loved it, keep up the good work.

I love how this flows together and makes you want to read on right from the start.I feel like that a lot when I have hurt someone and I can see it in there eyes,it connects to what the reader can sometimes feel or has happened to them.Keep up the amazing writing :)
