Barely Thriving
November 9, 2010
Unwanted,
and unkind,
To forever unwind.
Sheltered,
and safe,
Protected by this cape.
Surrounded,
and told,
But never to hold.
Alone,
and unkempt,
A lousy attempt.
At love,
and at loss,
These hearts do cross.
Unto,
and until,
Forever still,
Thriving.

The rhythum and flow is perfect. It ends well too. If it were continued, it would ruin the effect. I like this. It's well written. You've put a lot of thought into this!

Interesting... It makes you think.
Also, I love the rhyming structure. It feels very natural. :)
