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. :)

...and who catches your tears? (If you haven't already, check out the forms section at the top of the page, and please know that suggestions from others here are usually meant with good intentions and to be helpful.) A sweet, gentle poem Jessica.

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
