Tear Drops two

by Breeeezie   Feb 15, 2008


They spent months looking for her
some thought she maybe disappeared
cause she didn't want to be looked at
for the words she wrote
some thought god called her home
to hold her and whisper better words
to explain there are people out there
that will hurt you
to fill there anger
she changed her name
she married a man
her poems got published
her book got burned
she has found a love
she has found a life
she counts the blessings she receives
and when she does
she counts her husband twice
he bought that book
he reads each page out loud
she stands in the bathroom mirror
hearing his voice reading her words
shes just realized how much shes changed
he doesn't know that she wrote each one
but he tells her everyday
one day ill meet this written
and when i do
ill hold her tight and make
her feel shes better than these words
she gives him that eye
she says you'll hold her tight!?
he says yes but not as tight as i hold you
she then says
what if your words do help her
he looks at her and wonders
she nodes her head yes
he holds her
tighter than he ever has
he whispers soft words
shes never herd before

    I like this start of your poem. It creates a good image in my head. Its a perfect start to this poem very well done.

    "she changed her name
    she married a man
    her poems got published
    her book got burned
    she has found a love
    she has found a life
    she counts the blessings she receives
    and when she does
    she counts her husband twice
    he bought that book
    he reads each page out loud
    she stands in the bathroom mirror
    hearing his voice reading her words
    shes just realized how much shes changed
    he doesn't know that she wrote each one
    but he tells her everyday"

    I like how your putting in a time line here of what is going on this with character in the poem. It makes this a worth read, makes readers want to read more and want to find out what is going on with this girl.

    "she says you'll hold her tight!?
    he says yes but not as tight as i hold you"

    This is my favorite part of the poem. Its so sweet and cute I loved it. It was perfect. Good job.

    "he whispers soft words
    shes never herd before "

    I love your ending, you didnt say exactly what he said to her. but your readers know what she said which is a good thing. Normally poets would say exactly what he said but I like how you left it up to the readers to contemplate what he said to her. It was a good ending to this poem. I enjoyed reading this very much good work. You should check out some of my poetry sometime : D
