Even the best fall down sometimes


With a heart of gold
and eyes that searched deep beyond the surface
she touched your mind without making a sound
and she spoke words that would melt in your hands
and sang melodies that would dance in your soul
and you wished you could somehow return the magic
but as fast as she came, she always went
back to the place only she knew
the place you would never guess
so it hit you heavily
more than you anticipated
when she never came back
and only then did you recall the times that
her smile didn’t quite reach her eyes.

I. Love. This. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it all the way through, but it was really the last line that got me. I mean, wow. Your descriptions are very powerful, and your writing has a very natural flow to it. Plus, I love love love that you managed to say something totally unexpected with this. Great work!

I really enjoyed reading this! I especially enjoyed some of the figurative language at the beginning, specifically the idea of words melting in your hands. :-)

Thanks so much! & I want to leave it open for interpretation, but I was thinking of someone who struggled with depression but no one could tell from the outside.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

This was really cool. My favorite was the ending - only then did you recall the times that her smile didn't quite reach her eyes. What was your story behind it?
