A poem about my bf who self-harms. Please comment.
Impressions
I utter my love's name,
in the midst of a toss,
in the roughness of a turn.
And yearn for his body,
to speak and to burn.
I feel the impressions of hate,
and the shapes of shame.
They come in all sizes.
His heart reeks of pain.
Impressions so deep,
some fade away.
No matter what,
the stories stay.
Beyond the broken links,
his arms fit so perfectly..
And tame the red curls.

you describe it very well. I self harm trying not too though but ive no idea how it affects other people..maybe i think they dont really care.. it's difficult for you as he must b all over the place you obviously care a lot.. i had a friend who did it he ws the most kind thoughtful person u could meet i dont think many knew what he was goin through though it hurt me to see him in pain..even more so that i could not help..on the surface he seemed so happy go lucky... good luck warm wishes..

Excellent poem. Perfect flow without the kiddy rhyme style. Now you should try to get your b/f some help. Writing poems helps you and not him.
I liked it. It was written well and I like that the rhyming didn't sound forced.
I hope he gets better <3
