My Heart Cries

~My Heart Cries~ Darkness welcomes me So I fall into its liquid ebony night Drowning in its black solar waves not knowing my surroundings The unknown is quiet with it's unspoken words Holding a calmness that's terrifying in a beautiful way Only adding to secrets hid behind my smile Lost with no clue where to begin, leaves me exhausted from trying to stay strong Just trying to keep myself whole while others try to rip me apart Nothing hurts more, the pain needs not be underneath You see I am made of flaws and stitches, which grow into more each day and when my lips can't express these feelings.... breaking, my heart cries for me 3rd place 12/3/2019 Sponsor ; John Hamilton Contest; best December poem

Congrats Brenda--really like the 1st stanza [little typo: 'it's' should read 'its' as the possessive form--sorry, that's the old English teacher in me]]

"Just trying to keep myself whole while others try to rip me apart" - so succinct and accurate in many cases.

Thank you Tom!;) I decided I need to try something other than romantic because people probably tire of them after a while but thanks so much Tom!;)
