That's When I'Ll Say

That’s when I’ll say we’re equal now After every complaint that I still hear without a fuss And you stain me with a stick-mark to remember my fault And every ice that I’ve tried to break between us But the fire within you that simply burns me down Like the half-hearted me who never tried to take flight And the stone-souled you that searched for darkness even in light When you return everything that was stolen from me That’s when I’ll say we’re equal now Like your eyes that counted my flaws without having to say And your stars that were reluctant to part from my way When you feel the terror that every new day with you brings to my heart That’s when I’ll say we’re equal now

This is good poetry Ritika, the repetitive lines here strengthen your poem, not weaken it. I love the "half-hearted me" and the "stone-souled you". Welcome to PoetrySoup.
