I'm on a roll, my unprecendented streak of poetry continues. This is another one about love and I feel it's pretty self-explanatory. Someone falls in love but is still having trouble of letting go of the hurt experienced in the past. He/she tries to reassure their new partner that it's not them who causes them so much anguish, merely fading memories of the past.
Mere Reflection
In my eyes you may see pain,
Reflections of my past retained
Do not start if you see my lips quiver,
Or if my tears flow down like a river.
There's no need to tell me it'll be alright,
I already know, just hold me tight.
Fear not for me if you hear my heart skip a beat,
or if my skin turns white as a sheet.
Anger not if you find my shell too hard to break,
It's not your gentle touch that I can't take.
My love for you is intense and true,
All I ask is that you love me too.
The wounds I've suffered will begin to heal,
The cracks in my heart soon will seal.
With you, I am finally free.
It was always you, my love, who held the key.
Worry not, for though in my eyes you may see pain,
It be nothing more then mere reflection of my past retained.
