Wipe Away The Tears

*Actual title: Wipe Away The Tears That I'm Crying For Him

Your hands tremble while you touch my cheek --
as you wipe away the tears flooding from my eyes.
My left eye is starting to bruise, and my lip is bleeding.
I'm shaking to the point of making myself dizzy.

You hold me close to your chest, asking if I'm okay.
And I am now that you're holding me in your arms.
I feel you kiss my forehead, to try and comfort me.
"I'll never let anything happen to you again", you say.

I move my head slightly, but I see a little too much.
The body of my ex-lover, the one you just killed.
My eyes start to tear up again, and you apologize.
"I'm sorry, but I had to do it. For your sake, sweetheart."

"I know. Please don't apologize. You saved my life tonight."
We hear the sirens from the police driving down the street.
"It's all over now, and you'll be safe from this day forward."
I can see in your eyes that you mean what you say..

**Not finished.. I don't know if I'll ever finish it..**

    This poem shows alot of strong emotion , and has a flow to it even though it doesn't rhyme .. If that makes sense . In my head it does . Anyways , really good job . 5/5 Perhaps to end it , it's just an idea , but something to do with laying in bed and just thinking ..

    I think a good verse would

    now the sirens turn into hands as they take you away
    the tears seem to fade as a smile crosses my face a tear enter your eyes and you are taken away

    "i was going to keep it for me but i thought i would be a nice ending to your poem
    would mind being credited for that if you but it
    maybe would actually read my poems :]

    A very interesting piece, the flow was great and I found myself getting deeper into the poem with each line. Overall a very strong poem, as for not finished I feel it is excellent the way it is, if you were to add more however i'd love for you to tell so I could finish reading. Excellent job 5/5

    I can definately relate to this because if somebody ever laid a hand on my fiancee I'd kill them without hesitation, the only problem is I know I'd go to jail forever and how can I protect her from a cage? Excellent poem, very strong and intense I enjoyed this piece 5/5 GG23
