On the surface we're so different
But beneath it we both cry
We walk around with smiles
While our anguish sits inside
On the surface you despise me
But beneath it you believe
That you and I are lovers
While are yearning hearts
Do bleed
On the surface we are happy
But we hate ourselves much more
Than anyone who hurt us
From anytime before
For you and I are one
Our pain is
common ground
While no one knows our suffering
Or how we get around
So pretend to walk on proudly
While your soul sulks on beneath
And I'll pretend I'm worthy
Of the love I cannot meet
For you and I are similar
More than either of us know
We both just want a glimmer
of the
love
from long
ago

I can definitely identify with this poem. It is of something you want so badly to have or get back, but you or the person has changed..and you wonder if it can be found..but if cant, you hurt and cry because of the love you do feel for that person..just not the same as you originally had. It is hard something in life isnt the way you thought it would end up being, or what you believed would be forever, changes so fast. Very well written and understood.

Once again with the addictive meter/rhyme, Salt. Bravo. By the way, I love the color scheme.

i think this was a truly fantastic poem, it came from the heart and it's sooo well written. the rhyming is excellent, and you can feel the emotion in the words. this was one of the best poems i read today - i think probably the only one i have posted on so far - it flows well and is just generally great! well done
xXx
