Rochelle-Mari Smith Poet I do not know?

The Broken One

The tears I shed are not for me,
Even though I broke my heart just recently.

They slide down my cheek for an angel I know,
Who lost his wings and now only weeps.
Although he hides it with his  smile, 
His deep brown eyes reflect it all.

So he comes and lies in my embrace,
And kisses me gently on my head, 
And sweetly on my lips.
With a soothing hand upon my hips
He thinks he has me fooled.

That all is right and well, in his dreary, troubled world.
But all I know is the truth...

He's only trying to find some peace,
Deep within his troubled soul.

My sweet and gentle broken one 
My heart still bleeds for you.

Darlene Gifford November 3, 2014 at 9:21 PM So sorry, Rochelle, that you are getting over a broken heart! I liked your poem and I would like to welcome you to the soup site. So you are from Africa, I live in California. Maybe you can write some poems about Africa and what it is like there.
