The Dreamer by ~Th3-F4ll3n:iconTh3-F4ll3n:



Every lovers lips reminds her of him,
Every time she screams a name, it’s his,  
Every time she closes her eyes she returns to his safe embrace,  
Every man she meets cannot match the ghost she loved,

Each lovers touch reminds her of his soft caressing hands,
Each face is a mask alike her, but each she unveils she cannot find him,
Each time she closes her eyes she returns in dream to him,
Each time she awakes it is to the nightmare of her reality

Every lover she finds cannot see the tormented soul through her mask, for she wears it too well.
She does not want their pity, but she prays for help.
She longs to return to when everything was so perfect and safe with him,  
She screams silently and cries a river of stars in the blackness.  

She longs for his touch; when he would cup her cheek in his hand and rectify all wrongs.
She longs to lose touch when she stared into his eyes and him back.
This ghost anchors her to the past, making all lovers wilt and crumble like blackned roses in her hand
Her wrath replaces her love, for she is numbed by the pain and made insane by the torment.  

sometimes she wish's her dreams could be real; to stay in the warmth and feel the feverish euphoria she remembers so well,
She does not visit his grave; for she always smells his scent on her old clothes, and see's his reflection in the mirror
Her eyes like her heart grow cold and sharp from witnessing the ease of which the boy who could not say those three words she so desperately desired, lives and loves.

It's about quite simply someone who can't move on; and who is too weak on their own to face life, prefering their dreams to their life. It's probably not my finest work; and I'll most likely edit it, but I like it.

Every lovers lips reminds her of him...

Every lover's lips, you forgot to do this in the second stanza, and in the first and second stanzas you haven't ended them with a fullstop. You have with the others, though.

This ghost anchors her to the past, making all lovers wilt and crumble like blackned roses in her hand
You've mispelled blackened, and haven't ended the line with any punctuation.

sometimes she wish's her dreams could be real; to stay in the warmth and feel the feverish euphoria she remembers so well,
She does not visit his grave; for she always smells his scent on her old clothes, and see's his reflection in the mirror...


The word 'sees' doesn't need an apostrophe, neither does 'wishes'. Also, you didn't capitalize the beginning of this stanza as you did with the others.

Oh, I love critiquing work. This is a brilliant poem, by the way, I'm off to check your gallery now. :)

I faved this because it is very emotive and I can relate to it well.

I must question the use of "blackned roses" as opposed to normal roses though...

Not meaning any offence when I say that it sounds a bit melodramatic, and can be considered slightly emo.

Other than that, I really like it. Made me feel down, and made me reflect on my own life. Which is what a good poem does.
