Tear-filled Eyes

I've tried so hard to win your heart
running out of reasons to fly
I know I fell for you from the start
and hope I never have to say goodbye.

There are no walls we can't break through
in my heart you'll always be loved by me
Through the good & bad I'll stay true
if you would open your eyes to see.

You are as special as can be
for you I'd walk many a mile
I'd cross the widest ocean or sea
if I knew it would make you smile.

I'm not like all the rest
you will see that I am not the same
I will pass with flying colors through true love's test
and bring you forever out of the rain.

I know the distance between you and I
is great though I will never fade away
It's your heart and compassion I won't deny
with you I plan to show love in that special way.

I know you have issues with trust
but I can promise you now
I am a man not wanting lust
and I will prove that to you somehow.

No matter how long it takes
I'll be here not holding a disguise
Even if my heart breaks
I'll be waiting with tear-filled eyes.

    Aww this was too sweet of a poem, it kind of reminded me of the quote:
    "I dropped a tear in the ocean, the day I find it, is the day I will stop loving you."
    ----------------------------
    But the thing is you will never find that tear so your love is eternal, this poem reminded me of that quote and I didn't remember it until now, and you reminded me of this.
    Aw this was so sad, pure poetry at it's finest.
    This is very impressive to me I liked this.

    Heartfelt

    I really liked this, there was such heart wrenching feeling behind your words. The last verse;
    "No matter how long it takes
    I'll be here not holding a disguise
    Even if my heart breaks
    I'll be waiting with tear-filled eyes. " really got to me.

    Well written, the way you put all this together is astounding. I wish I could pen something this deep. Well Done!

    Ohh... how lovely. This is such a heartfelt piece; I love it!

    Your flow is very good throughout the entire poem. Even though the beats vary from stanza to stanza (and even line to line), it has a very natural flow to it. Very easy and enjoyable. Another great thing about the flow is that the rhyme scheme worked very well almost the entire time and didn't feel too forced--but stanza four's "same" and "rain" are the only pair that do not specifically rhyme. It caught my attention immediately, and depending on how you look at it, that could also work to your advantage.

    The emotion is very well conveyed. I even felt it myself; that sort of empathy is rarely triggered by written pieces, so you did an excellent job with that.

    I feel that the periods at the end of each stanza are rather unnecessary. If you really want them, they don't make TOO much of a difference, but I think the overall effect would be quite nice.

    Very nicely done. Thank you for sharing it! (Whoever inspired this is very blessed. Lovely work.)

    Just Beautiful

    This poem is so sincere and just lovely. Oh to have a friend like this is just a taste of what Heaven is like here on earth. The whole poem flows so well and it is really so full of compassionate love, with heart and soul... I wish I could write like this. It is excellently written. Just beautiful as I said. I love the title Tear Filled Eyes and how you have that in your last sentence of your poem. Thank you for sharing your gift to write poetry with me.

    Wishing You Many Blessings
    Much Love

    I can only hope you found that undying love we all spend our lives looking for, yet few are fortunate enough to find. Whether it be in the next room, or 2,000 miles away, never give up on your undying love.

    Amazing. Absolutely beautiful. I hope you don't have to wait long. I must say I've felt like this before myself. I'm sure if you show her this she couldn't help but fall in love with you. Best of luck, I know you'll find the one.

    This just might be me, but it reminds me of "Walking After You" by the Foo Fighters...mostly because I was listening to it while reading this piece.

    Anyways well done...this feels geninue and real, not overforced and cliche like many of the "love posts" on this site.
