About the Poem

The pain of seeing someone you love hurt is the most unbearable pain of all. This poem describes the realization of that pain as I witnessed it first-hand, and the shock of discovering the pain had gone unnoticed for so long.

Last Night

by CMGrimm

Last night
I watched a teardrop
slowly trace its way
across your lovely
cheek.
It hovered a moment
at the tip of your nose
as if to tease me
and make me feel ashamed
for hurting you so badly.
Finally it broke itself free
and came to a rest
on your soft pillow
to join countless others
of its kind that I
never knew existed.

i love your poem, its short but deep and it shows that you care.

iris

the poem represents every girls suppressed emotions. i am once hurt by love and i couldnt cry. i dont know why. maybe because i was happy. that i experience such pain for then i know i trully love and that is such a wonderful feeling. crying and grief are mere representations. after such. we'll learn to move on and love again. and cry again. = )

Joy

I really liked this poem and can very much relate to it. Although I was the one crying and my ex was the one doing the realizing. Very good job in describing the pain. I can just picture the pain in his/her eyes when he/she realized how much he/she had hurt the other person.
