Conversation, nonsense chatter.
Lingering hands, I was just a girl.
Innocent smile, you were my teacher.
Thoughts of running, body was frozen.
Wandering eyes, all over my body.
Saddened smile, I felt violated.
Broken trust, in you and others.
Writing notebook, only escape.
Trembling hands, knife on skin.
Rusting heart, forgotten teen.
My Now
Love at first sight, someone I trust..
Dried tears, you won't break me.
Growing patience, for getting better.
Glaring eyes, whenever I see you.
Nightmares fading, dreams awakening.
Lost of job, you had it coming.
Smiles and Hugs, my soul is healing.
Bright future, I'm stronger now.
Fading scar, you are behind me.
Author notes
This is a little different. It is more of a story poem. It isn't like anything i have ever done before but I think it is unique..
I am Velvet Rose Petals. I've been broken and now I am healing..
Dark angel- i think we have a lot in common in that i dont like my family much either. I am a good friend and I am always there when needed. I am a godo listener and i give good advice. I'd like to to be your broken twin sister..

Ok, what I really liked about this piece was the contrast. The contrast being the layout, which is quite, soft, gentle and comforting, compared to the subject matter being written about.
I found this dark, very dark, deep and so sad too. But it had a wonderful ending. I think you deserve praise for this. Your emotions really came through and I felt them, as much as I could, in those horrific circumstances. Keep writing, you have talent.
With
Dark

I've always seen roses as both though. They hold beauty, but then their thorns are evil and dark. The poem was supposed to be pretty dark but i wanted to end it on a happy note because that is where i am in my life. I really would like the thank you for taking the time and reading my poems. It means a lot to me

Such raw, beautifully carved emotion I find impossible to critique in any way. I love this poem, your strength, the truth. I am glad to know a beautiful soul as you is healing.

i liked your style in this and the way you presented each stanza, I believe you intended your words to be "choppy" and I was able to pick up on the "beat" of your poem pretty quickly....interesting write, nice job!

I fell in love with this poem from beginning to end. You are very talented Rose. Keep up the good work.
