She Hurts

 


I hurt


I fail


When words


Won't work


The heart


Alone


Remains


 


 


My heart


It burns


To stop


To kill


The pain


She feels


Inside


 


I dream


I cry


I pray


I'd die


To take


Away


The pain


 


Yet then


I know


That's not


My place


My Lord


Did take


That pain


 


I yield


To Him


I seek


I pray


I cry


A tear


Not pain


 


 


God, do only what you can do.  Please, I beg of you, do only what you can do...

oh, I just realized changing she would mess up the title. (Although you can always change the title, too)

I'll liked it, especially the first stanza. I would change a few things though:

she in the 2 stanza threw me off for a second, I would make it it

in stanza 4, I'd change take to make

and that line at the end doesn't really fit, I feel like it cheapens the meaning of everything before it. It's unnecessary.

This is really beautiful. I can relate to the feeling as so many people can. I like the structure of your poem and the words you use. I dont think you need to change anything. great work.

May I ask what you mean by it falls apart in the end?

This is beautiful, but the ending seems to fall apart. You have such lovely emotions in here and you've conveyed them very well... but the ending breaks the flow.
