No one likes to be sad
for the right reasons.

It's strange.
You'd rather cry
because of ruined makeup,
a messy breakup.

But,
a failed exam,
a stab wound,
you'd even laugh through the pain.
or maybe it's just me

I see him walk by the street
after he visits the stone
He holds a piece of paper out
and that's the moment of frown
Pressing it against his chest,
he cries...
He cries in the rain
A sight so awful
hurts me deep
Thinking no one's around
he cries to the fullest
But here I am sharing
a part of his grief
I watch him until he,
disappears in the rain
My head is in my hands
And my arms are shaking
My voice is cracking
There's tears streaming down my face
Falling onto my shirt
And your starring at me
With wide brown eyes
Trying to lift my head
To see if I'm ok.
You look at me in pain
And I can't even say your name
Your watching me wipe my tears
And your whispering how you love me
Even though you watched me cry
Looking at me while I'm in my most vulnerable state.
You just stare
With wide eyes and your hand gripping my right thigh.
I tell you I'm fine and you believe it,
Only for a moment in time, until you regret it.
The cold is no match
For the fire I have inside
For you it will burn
Only for you will it subside
For a heart of stone I have
Inside burning with flames
Only you can tame them
Only you can eliminate the pains
You being cold as ice
Will shatter the stone of my heart
Creating something new
Giving both a new start
For when I thaw your cold veins
And blood comes rushing through
Together we will be there
Together, just two
Fire and ice
Together to challenge
Whoever walks our way
With the fire in my eyes
And the ice in yours
Together, making quite the display
An angel of winter on one side
The other a fiery stray
I’ll keep you warm
You’ll keep me calm
Together, in this world of gray
Good morning to my angel
This is what we call a 'shadow poem' which is a poem in reply/compliment to a poem the other sent.

I didn't know
I had to put out
these flames
just to find out
the fire would
still be there.
I know it's hard
The tears they flow
The pain it hurt
Nobody knows
You wanna quit
The winning towel
Just hold on it's the last hour.

Real women will blow your mind
Real women will never leave you behind
Real women will be kind when you feel hurt
Real women will shout if you can't hear their voice
Real women will show you the way
Real women will charm your soul
Real women will smile with their eyes
Real women will know when you lie
Real women are not ashamed to cry
Real women will feel your deepest pain
Real women are not as fragile as you think
Real women are not afraid to tell the truth
Real women are not hiding behind their strengths
Real women do not show off their beauty
Real women are proud of their flaws
Real women do have beautiful souls
Real women do glow in the dark
Real women do know what they want
Cause Real woman, they love with their heart
