    Faces
    A person is a person
    But a body is a whole
    If your going to break the heart
    Then your going to break the soul

    The face of the person Im looking at
    Is the only face I see
    But the face of the person Im looking at
    Isnt the face that is looking at me

    The more I stare them in the eye
    The more that face is clear
    And the more I listen to that person speak
    The less of them I hear

    The more i breathe the air around them
    The more my body dissolves away
    For this person with many faces
    Is giving me a sickness that seems to stay

    Why is the face that I cannot recognize
    The one that hurts me the most strongest
    And why is the face that I cannot recognize
    The one that stares at me the longest

    Wow, this person with many faces
    Is seeping through my skin
    Causing me pain Ive never felt
    And deathly scars lie within

    And I breathe slowly all the time
    So that I will never loose my place
    And I walk around and turn my head
    To the person with the multiple face.

    Sweet write! The content superb and meters though good! I could only find slight grammar errors that doesn't conflict with the write! The scary part is the ending left me with a mirror!

    That is one to read again, the person with many faces I think is ourselves. No one hurts us more than the one within the skin. I really like the thoughtful nature a poem like this brings me to.

    This one started out nicely talking about people we thought we knew that we don't and how they affect us. You didn't clearly speak about the effects on you or why you hold on to them for so long...Talk more about your feelings of hurt or disappointment. I use to know these types of people until i learned to cut the ties,

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
