yesterday, i awakened
to reverberated screams
and the rage of anger on a
calm rainy wintery day
i looked in the mirror and
watched a teardrop travel
from my face down to
my achin' heart and disappear
then, i heard the silence of
anger on the break of
an outrage
i was distraught and so
full of no tomorrows as i
ran out of todays and all
i could seem to remember
was yesterday as i kissed
the eve of night
i saw flashes of our life
together gone astray as grief
held his hand out to greet me
i could barely concentrate
because my baby's honey
hazels had turn to gray
i ran miles and miles from this
pain that chased me again
and again
i was hurtin' as if i could
not be recovered by the
slightest touch of happiness,
because my baby's honey
hazels had turn to gray
what i wanted to do was
recite verses that would
turn my baby's honey hazels
back, but i could not find the
words....
so, i brainstormed until
my brainstormin' turned
blue, then i realized the
only thing to do was to
just say, 'i still love you'
as i gave life to those
four letter words, my
baby's honey hazels
turned just as rich, just as
warm, just as pure as they
could!
today, i felt those honey
hazels touch me and my
troubles went away

That felt so personal that I almost hated to leave a comment. You've got skillz, you're an excellent poet. Poetry is one thing that I cannot do, so I have the utmost appreciation for one that does it and does it well.
