About the Poem

We all have things that we won't let ourselves do. Some won't let themselves cry, love, hope, fear, hate, or have faith.

This poem is partly about me, as all poems in essence are a part of the poet. Another part of the poem is to encourage others to reach out to people who are in pain, before it's too late. Life's short, why not make it sweet? I can guarantee you that somebody needs you. 		Love Poems

She Won't Cry
by Jppoet
You see the pain that lies in her eyes,
But, alas, her eyes are dry,
She won't cry.
No, she won't cry.

You see the anger that burns from her gaze,
The madness that sets her eyes ablaze,
She won't cry.
No, she won't cry.

You see the fear that closes her eyes,
The smile she wears is but a disguise,
She won't cry.
No, she won't cry.

You see the hope that is finally dead,
She cannot trust for her heart has been bled,
She won't cry.
No, she won't cry.

You see the love that lies within,
But she shall never love again,
She won't cry.
No, she won't cry.

You see death's hand that has glazed her eyes,
No one saw her die inside,
They won't cry.
No, they won't cry.

I liked the vague description. It is excellent for this style and gives the poem strength. It sounded almost like something I had written. Funny, isn't it, how a poet's mind works?
Patrice
This is a good poem! I enjoyed reading it and it makes me jealous. You said all the words that i wanted to say but just couldn't put them in the right words. Thank you!

Touching poet which expresses the feelings many feel, yet go unnoticed by others
cindy
This poem was so simple but it said so much in its simplicity. The last verse was what got to me the most. I sometimes wonder if anyone REALLY sees me and if anyone would notice if i were to fade or even care for that matter. Thank you for this poem.
