My Prince
As I open my eyes I see a lone figure
standing out from the crowd of faceless strangers
his face is hidden behind a metal masquerade
but his mask cannot conceal his pain
as I gaze into his eyes
I see the scars inside
I look into his mind
and see his masochist side
I creep closer to him and grab his arm
I pull up his silk black sleeve
and look at his scars and deep,bloody cuts
they're like rows of red blooming roses
I push down his sleeve and take his hand
I give him a hug and pet his hair
pulling him closer to me I whisper in his ear
"Its no fun to be alone in a crowded room.
my Prince, may I join you?"

I've read this poem at least 20 times, and I'm not sure why it took so long to add to my reading list. I've considered it every time, though only last time I've actually done it.

Firstly, thank you for reading my work.
The best positive of this poem is the simplicity and the message it bears.
The weakness is you could have used fewer words to tell the same story. It would have created a bigger impact. For example,
"I pull up his silk black sleeve
and look at them rows of thorns blooming into roses red
Concealing them, I pull him closer
and whisper in his ear"
When you have used an image of roses let the reader interpret what it is about, why tell him plain? Keep writing.

The poem is romantic, yet dark, and it is somehow soothing to read. 'My Prince' is a very talented piece of work.

this poem grabs my attention because i love how you beat around the bush and described something so terrible to think about ( as a reader)into something that's soothing (for the main character) yes they might say use less words and who knows it might sound better or not but that's the essence of the poet that makes you unique and different from everyone else your own style of poetry makes you who you are inside that probably no one ever sees if they're trying to correct you ... keep up the good work :) and i am definitely following you :)
