Perfect

Broken emotions
Bruised hearts and egos
Silent screams of desperate pleas
Suffocating lungs
Tear stained faces
Sharp blades shooting from beautiful lips
Cold beds and sleepless nights
Lost to a dark future
Restrained from a darker past
Smiling through the pain
A love so dark it shines
A pain so deep, it’s soothing
Emotions so strong, they’re controlling
A love so unconditional, it will be forever binding 
A person so flawed, they’re perfect.

Jessica,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
