The Watcher

I am quiet 
        I am patient
        I sit aside 
         But gone unseen
        To your eyes
        I am loyal 
        I am honest 
      And stand behind
       Always catching the tears 
     That you have cried

I enjoyed this poem. Reminds me of myself. The life of an introvert. :)

Guardian angel or the ghost of loved ones who have past was the perspective I was going for.

This is not a rhymed poem. I think you put it in the wrong category

What would it be then? Never had formal training in writing they just come so I really don't know what it would be considered. Thank you
