Starlight
By Aurora_Light
Starlight, moonlight, candle flame burning bright
Dry away the tears clinging to my cheecks tonight
Hide them from the outer world so it doesnt know i'm weak
Keep their very existance a secret hidden deep
I dont want those I hold dear to see me in this state
Dont allow them to see me frail thanks to this crule twist of fate
Though I tremble and though I shake
The blade is steady as ever on the path that it takes
Feebly i wonder what would happen if it should slip
Would the pain late forever or be only moments long?
Though missed I would be how long would it last
Few here at home would likely notice if I passed
Yet the blade stays steady
And I return to reality
On the surface there's not even a scratch
But in truth the blood and tears stain deep
Starlight, moonlight, candle flame please burn bright

i really like this. great imagery, cadence (which is sooo important!) and i like how the blood and tears stain deep, even though the cut was not made.

i do have to say though (sorry) that the spelling (one word, tonight) and the punctuation (help's the reader to keep the cadence) could have been better. but all in all, really really good.

... shadows you sought are familiar ... but reality of the pain I'd cause has saved me and loved ones from all the pain I felt I was. You are loved. Glad am I that your spirit is every bit as convincing as mine has been! Real write - great job! ... ~L
