Love is written on the palm
of the hand that he last held.
Blinded by love you see only
what your heart reveals to you.
Your scarred heart is in anguish
but still you refuse
to let yourself see the truth.
You try to hide your pain
but your tears are all too evident.
He is gone now,
but still your love for him remains.

This is very well written and I can really relate to it because I am experiencing all those emotions at the moment. For someone who is going through that exact situation, I think you did an amazing job portraying what it feels like. Nice job!

Yes I did comment on your song and it was amazing. Yes I'm more into the dark genre. No im not better than you. You are amazing. I think it's great that we have the same favorite authors. Do you like Edgar Allan Poe?

Hey, ya commented on my song Go Away. I checked this peom out, and though it was great! Just, it's a little dark. I kinda think your probably better at writing songs, and poems than me. I like the same authors you do too! :D See, I write songs, raps ( or did, I quit because I thought I wasn't good- my first song, Missing, is a rap ), storys, and the occasional time, I start a movie. But anyways, 5 stars! It's great and keep writing!
