The tears are well hidden behind my eyes,
a smile is forever stained on my face.
But something hides in the dark of my heart.
I wish there was a way to run away,
but you cannot run from something
that already has you in its bloodied claws.
It knows all my secrets.
It knows the unsafe memories
that I try to forget.
It has its claws in the flesh of my heart
and rips it to shreds from the inside out.
When I close my eyes,
I can feel it lurking inside my head.
When I breathe, it breathes.
When I sleep, it lies awake,
stalking the shadows of my dreams.

I love this poem, it has perfect imagery to me. I can't give out any nitpicks because I am not a grammar queen. All I can say is that I love it!!!!
I am Jataani, and Milaita... Sorry for what confusion may have been noticed...
I didn't come up with this. It belongs to a friend of mine. Though, I do see what you mean. :/ I had trouble not correcting this the whole time I was typing this up...
I really enjoyed but just one thing.
