Fragile

You think you know her

You think you care enough

 

                 she is like a fragile gusset

              on a cold winter gale

 

You think you know her

You think you love her

 

                she is like a scared doe

                          runing in front of the fowler

 

No, you don't know her

You don't care

 

                       'Cause in the dark of her room

                       she cries almost every night

 

No, you don't know her

 You don't love her

 

                      'Cause her life extinguishes

                     every time she's near you

Love, once more you left me breathless. This poem has a nostalgic tone to it and to me it doesn't come off as sad, but as an enlightening provocation to see the person as they are, not as others might perceive her. Well done!

there something about male poetry that gets me. this is really well-written, i like how you presented the fragility, and the repetition helps to paint a painful picture
