[Azure Tears]

Eyes are windows to the soul.

Those two windows to the soul.

As they shimmer, they make me feel whole.

It makes me feel awful, to see you in harm.

I can't understand you, but come into my arms.

~

But those azure tears cut me deep.

I think you them, as I drift to sleep.

The girl who would bleed out til she'd die.

Could hear anything and start to cry.

~

She had a hard life, an emotional twist.

Falling through her own mental mist.

Broken, close to her grace.

Spilling out, like a tidal wave.

~

She's so scared, as her eyes grow dark.

Though she used to mile, her emotions leave there mark

Author's Note

This is longer than I normally write! Yay!

[Alex Walters]

Writing poems that rhyme can easily sound campy and ridiculous. You did a very good job of making them sound exactly the opposite. They flow very well and, to me, it gives the poem a sense of a dark playfulness. Very nicely done.
