Description I know it can't be easy to
 be with a girl like me.
                     I know.
      There's too much pain in these eyes,
        too much suffering, too much reaching out
         holding too tightly to what could be good.
 Behind the black clothes and chains,
 behind the swears and the smiles,
 behind even the tears and past the scars
           is a girl who might not be
           good for anyone,
        because it's not about being good enough.
I know you knew what you
were getting yourself into but
that doesn't mean I expect you to stay
if the sky is too dark and
the waves are too rough and
I'm a sinking ship, you
don't have to sink
with me.

I'm a girl with too many problems and
 too little courage but
I never wanted you to feel
like you had to save me.
         Your voice is enough, your
         hands are enough, your face
         is enough, your heart is
         more than I could ever ask for.


    I know it can't be easy to
       be with a girl like me.
                  I know.


And I would never blame you if you wanted to walk away.

Love never is easy... I love the flow of the poem, it's difficulty to stand yet strength when it does so is... I suppose "breath taking" about covers it

Thanks so much, dear. It was really hard to write and to find the right words for this one, so I'm glad that it still manages to flow nicely.

Excellent work. This flows nicely, and I love the feel of the words. Never good enough because of the tortured soul... the whole theme just really reaches out to me. Great job.

Thank you very much =] It was a pretty difficult poem to write, to be honest, so I'm really glad you think it turned out well. Thank you for reading and commenting, I appreciate it

I know the feeling. I would like to thank you for inspiring me to write out one of my own difficult past stories. I think I may be able to move on now that I've finally written it. So thank you.

I'm so glad to hear that! Not that you have had things in your past that have been difficult but that you've been able to write about them, I know that it can definitely be so cathartic. That's a lot of the reason I write stuff, for me it's the easiest way to get difficult emotions out. I'm glad I could be helpful through my writing =]

Thank you very much for reading and for the fave. I'm sorry you can relate, it's not really a great feeling to be able to relate to :/ It was really hard for me to write this poem, but I'm glad you like, thank you so much
