The Broken One

The tears I shed are not for me, Even though I broke my heart just recently. They slide down my cheek for an angel I know, Who lost his wings and now only weeps. Although he hides it with his smile, His deep brown eyes reflect it all. So he comes and lies in my embrace, And kisses me gently on my head, And sweetly on my lips. With a soothing hand upon my hips He thinks he has me fooled. That all is right and well, in his dreary, troubled world. But all I know is the truth... He's only trying to find some peace, Deep within his troubled soul. My sweet and gentle broken one My heart still bleeds for you.

A belated welcome to the soup. This is a tremendous first offering. The right amount of angst to create an emotional response. Well done!

So sorry, Rochelle, that you are getting over a broken heart! I liked your poem and I would like to welcome you to the soup site. So you are from Africa, I live in California. Maybe you can write some poems about Africa and what it is like there. Blessings, Darlene

Thank you Anne-Lise! I'm glad that you liked my first poem, I really look forward to reading the poems of all the many writers out there and growing as writer myself, as I find it a wonderful way of expressing not only my thoughts but my emotions that one simple word can't even begin to describe! ^_^
