All the world’s pains and poisons,
boil up inside.
And all their eyes are staring,
there’s nowhere left to hide.
So when a single teardrop falls,
transforms into a flood.
The girl behind the amber eyes,
begins to feel like mud.
And all the sorrows crash back in,
breaking down the wall.
And all at once from nowhere,
comes the sweetest call.
His arm around her shoulder,
shoving through the throng.
He leans in to gently whisper,
“Hey, Gretch, what is wrong?”
Nothing else is needed,
the sadness now at bay.
And with a gentle motion,
he wipes her fears away.

Oh this is so beautiful and in a way reminds me of someone dear to my heart who is the only one at the minute who knows exactly how I am feeling. He too is the only one who can dry my tears and soothe my fears. A well crafted piece of poetry, a joy to read. Well done and many thanks for entering.

How absolutely beautiful! I loved how you used a name as well, the guy being specific to exactly which girl he's trying to calm. Awesome, thank you so much for your wonderful entry! Keep writing!
