No Name

It has no name
Some say it has eyes, inner piercing eyes
Eyes that see beyond the words
Seeing past the huge distorted nose
Past those bits that you despise the most
Seeking the real you

Others claim they’ve seen its soul
Delicate, tender and faithful
Forgiving those who hurt it most
Freely giving without counting the cost
Loving, the real you

They are those with tears on their cheeks
Silently, they weep, drying tears that fail to dry
They whisper with caution on their lips
“We’ve seen it frozen." 

"We’ve felt it break,” they cry
When it’s hard, it’s ruthless - when it breaks, it hurts
Hurting, the deeper you

Is there no cure, I ask
"Time," the voices mumble, screaming and shouting
“Silence!” says the angel
Time heals but slowly it does
The only cure is love
It has a name
The heart
Finding, the real you

The heart (sigh!), the same heart the puts us though so many emotions, delightful, painful, makes us laugh, makes us cry. Even love hurts, more we feel, the more it pains

It has a good flow, moving up and down, up and down, pulling at the strings in our minds. Some good language is used. "We've seen it frozen, we've felt it break" and "Silently, they weep, drying tears that fail to dry" were great lines. Some of the parts I would have broken the lines up sooner, making them smaller, but that's just a personal taste. The poem is wonderful, nonetheless ^^

This is a great poem from any angle one chooses to approach it...the best I've read to date, though I haven't read them all so that may change lol...I'd say you nailed this one though.

I like the switch from the start to the end, a contrast of how are emotions play is well portrayed in your work
