My Wicked Stare

I want to be in love so bad, I settle every time I hope that when you come around, my heart won't be unkind Everything he did to me has made my heart grow mean Now a wall is built around my lowly self-esteem Pity for the one who tries to catch my wicked stare Sorry, he consumes the space of all that I can bare Forgive all that is coy, lurking in my eye For I don't mean a single thing, it's nothing but a lie

Decent descriptiveness and rhyming in two easy to read verses. Good presentation.

Be sure to change "lerking" to "lurking". Sarah, this was quite an intense piece. Something I can relate to from a past experience. I feel this. And yet, my heart still shines because nobody is worth my heart becoming silent & cold. Great piece!
