See Me Cry

See Me Cry Here comes that hurt around again I feel but I can't see. Your heart is withdrawing. You're giving up on me. There's no one to blame you it's widely understood. I'm here for just a while but then I'm just no good. The baggage we all carry sometimes comes back around. I'm never somewhere long enough to lay my baggage down. My hearts been broken often I know your heart has too. I guess when I'm no good for me I'm no good for you. Still I thought we had a chance I didn't mean to waste your time. Like sand out in a desert or words to some old rhyme. I'm sorry for all that I am and for all that I might lack. Please don't think I never cared just because I don't look back. If it helps you understand me I'll share the reason why. It's just that I care too much to let you see me cry. Edwin C Hofert

There's someone for everyone. When you find them, you'll know, because they will not charge to check your baggage. I really enjoyed reading your poem.

The imagery is good and the reader can feel the experience. Your thoughts transfer their energy to your words establishing the mood and theme of this piece as one of disappointment and hurt. Very powerful and full of emotion. Emile.
