Picture Perfect

A faded face in a world of hurt

The light no longer shines out of your eyes

The spark of a soul is gone

Blown to pieces by despair

Your smile seems dead and lifeless

As if the happiness has burned out

Your gaze rests on mine

But I know that you don't really see me

You are crinkled and torn at the corners

Stained with salty tears

But still I speak to you

Even if you can never hear.

Author's Note

tell me what you think and what you think it's about.

LOVE YOU, sorry I've been MIA these last months.

Amazing poem

[Holly O'Brien]

Aw....at first I thought it was about death....then it was like a person falling out of love with someone....all around it just seems tragic :(

but I love the words and the truth to it...great write!! I enjoyed♥

It sounds a lot like death... :S incredible piece, I -must- add... I'm in love with lines 3 &4. They are incredible! Fantastic job! :D

I loved this poem!
It has so much melancholy, compassion and pain. I might think it's about or directed to someone who commited suicide. However, somewho i got the image of a "self" image on a mirror; an imge of someone who is not the real "self". Oops, I guess my explanation is not so clear, have problems expressing the image in my head.

Yeah, there are so many people I would like to reach, but they have been hurt so much, they can't hear me. Thank you for creating:)
