Teardrops on her pillow,
not much love in sight,
rejected and left alone,
life wasn't going right.
Sadness in her eyes
swollen from the pain,
abuse had scarred a life,
tears fell down like rain.
Beaten down by hate filled hearts,
those who brought her low,
rotten words were spread
like weeds that often grow.
False rumors lead the way
to a broken life,
made to face the days
with a lot of strife.
A broken heart flooded
from all the hurt and tears,
a fallen angel in the night
from all the lies one hears.

wow! this is fantastic. I know it has simple language compared to come poems in this contest so far but I love this poems simplicity and I like the fact that I couldn't choose a favorite part becasue it was all so good. however I liked this bit because I love the rain and the concept of pace and colour really plays here great imagery great similie 'tears fell down like rain.'
beautiful poem
good luck
