Spinning a Web

A single tear, like a sparkle of morning dew

a drop of the sky's soul running down her hallow cheek

Pictures flash like strobe lights through her mind

Memeriories of the innocent young girl she once knew

 

She runs her hands through her thinning hair

She is much, mcuh too young to be so very old

Foreign words and tales occupy her life

She lives in the past, ever wishing she could return there

 

Every night, she entwines herself in the days lies

trying to forget the hurt that has been done unto her
yet the scars that have formed refuse to heal

so she merely tries to ignore the peircing pain inside

 

She weaves a quilt fromt he many tears she has wept

She covers herself in the truths she 'believes'

none of these truths are honest, all are fake

but she blocks it all out with the sheild she has forever kept

 

She is broken, shattered, peices scattered

no glue, no tape, nothing can put her back together

she spins herself up in a web

and hides with in its strands forever.

Amazing I loved reading this, your metaphor was very well written. I applaud you for this, you did a great job.

Very sweet! Your words flow well and your format is great. Your word choice and arrangement of words are the most captivating trait in this poem though. It is very creative. Its a sad poem, but actually soothing in a way. You are very constructive and I am just blown away by the imagery in this poem. It is beautifully written and gives me poetic envy (in a good way) I wish I could write like this.
