Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

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

Emile Pinet January 25, 2015 at 12:02 PM 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. Edwin Hofert January 25, 2015 at 12:20 PM Thank you so very much for the kind words and encouragement.
