He's damaged,
               Unfixable it seems
What others would call
                  nightmares
       Are his sweetest dreams
                And sometimes
  He takes his emotions
                               to
                            extremes
       It's so blatantly obvious
  When he finally
           breaks down
                    And screams
That the world
          brought him to his knees

                  He's a broken spirit.
       And I just don't know
   If my love
              can mend his soul
Or if my broken pieces
        Are enough to make
                                      him
                  ­                      whole.
       And if I use what
                       little I have left
To put him back together
                Won't that just
                                  leave me
      In a shattered pile of emotions
                   *forever?
I don't know the answers but I know I'm willing to try.

Poetically speaking, I'm unsure about the ending.  Some constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

A failure to observe
So quickly to judge...
A failure to integrate
The ways of true love...
A failure to embrace
A true nature inside...

These are the commonalities
Of the unspoken white lie...

Why
Of course, I am never alone
But why do I feel otherwise?

Let's talk about the stars
And how dull they turn out to be when you smile

hellopoet
you're better off without them
so stop wanting them to like you
ask yourself if you really like them;
it's not them that you need, just

a fantasy of betterment, should
they be in your life, so somehow
wake up, snap out of it and
change your dream channel*

No
It was hard for you to say no,
I told you you should learn to decline sometimes,
And in the many times you could have said no,
In the very rare moments you did say it,
You said no to me.

No matter how hard she tries
Donning gorgeous masks
She's still just a blank canvas
