Senseless

I watch her.
I watch her smile, 
I watch her laugh,
I watch her cry,
I watch her dance
I watch her sing
I watch her fall, and pick herself up with grace
She sees herself
She sees herself frown
She sees herself age
She sees herself make mistakes
She sees herself as small
She sees herself as afraid
She sees herself low and worthless
I know her
I know her, like the back of my hand,
I know her like a classic novel,
I know she hates the girl on the other side of the mirror
And she knows I love her, so at times she loathes me too
My lover, is a butterfly
Constantly comparing herself to the flowers
Unable to see the beauty of her wings
My lover is senseless when it comes to herself
And I do believe that's the one thing we have in common
My lover is mine
Maybe a horror film to herself, and everybody else
But a treasure to me

Poet Destroyer A Date: 9/23/2016 9:57:00 PM I like your list, ShelBee, 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 <-@ Login to Reply
