Shimmering Sliver
By brokenbandagedbetter
Silently I stare into your eyes
As if standing face to face before a looking glass
I recognize the struggle within your heart and your mind
I see the pain you have suffered
as it often mirrors mine
I find myself reaching through my own pain
To try to soothe you so that maybe
one day you will believe in love again
I see so much promise so much warmth
Like a shimmering sliver of hope
Feeling these feelings so foreign
In which I thought only existed in a childhood story
How I long to Speak the words
that I never thought I would again be able to say
I wish I could tell you I need you
and that I want you to stay
For now I will just linger
And keep these words beneath the pillow
where I lay my head to sleep at night
Like whispered secrets locked in a raindrop
Awaiting release as it splashes against the window pane

A few good images here, but a lot of this was staggered and hard to establish a rythym with this. If you were attempting to create a dystrophy it may be worth expanding your vocabulary.

Also - as a side note, allcaps titles are hard to read. Unless it's an anger poem or something of the like I suggest you reevaluate the use of such, especially when this poem is meant to be melancholy.
