The Lovers There she stood by the sea Saying goodbye for one last time. The sun sat and made beautiful colors A tear fell from her eyes.

The bandages on my wrists Hide the self-inflicted scars Scars of pain and agony The ones only I can see. Never meant to hurt anyone That's why I did it to me But now I realize The scars never set you free. The pain will always be there Hidden deep inside Not even the candles can light The shadows were it hides. Scars of pain...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Unspoken thoughts: 131 of 493

A wicked mind of self deceit Shadows locked inside my head Light a candle in the darkness And surround myself in chains. Thoughts of pleasure only measure my pain Thoughts of love turn me insane. Something inside me wants to get out But my eyes are the only doors So I keep them shut tight And seal those thoughts within. Don'...
