One Eye Weeping

By Soulseeker

Green iris filled with pain,
crying is proof of being sane.
One eye remains weeping,
whether I am walking or sleeping.
The other eye is open and fully aware,
it does all the thinking while the other is in despair.
A new tear emerges with every blink.
It;s not that you have won if that's what you think.
I've lost me, found me, and got lost some more;
but always regrouped when I fell to the floor.
Pain was found, hope was lost;
I never knew "love" had a cost.
Yet the fact remains that beauty has a curse,
but everyone sees the glory first.
My heart has found no "forever" remaining,
but the thought was always entertaining.
So just as truth always peeks through,
my one eye weeping will remain too.

Nicely done. I like the content of your poems very much, although I think it would hit harder and be more intriguing if you let yourself give up AA BB CC rhyme schemes.

But other than that,this was a good piece...just maybe be a little more careful with the rhythm of your pieces...nice work..Butterfly..xxx...

To be honest,i'm not really a huge fan of rhyme...For rhyme to work well,in my opinon the flow has to be very strong,and I feel it was perhaps a little inconsistant in this piece...perhaps its just me...
