Tell me what you see in me
Tell me what you know;
Can you see my secrets?
The things I do not show

Look me in the eyes and read
Look deep into my mind;
Be afraid of your new knowledge
Tell none of what you find

Stare at me in disbelief
Stare in silence and despair
Beg me to explain, confirm
Be shocked that I don't care

Refuse to take my payment
I am payment in my presence
Spend your night in wondering
At the mystery -  of my essence

This is the best thing you have written in a long time. Fix the "you're" and make it "your." "You're" is simple a contraction of the phrase "you are." So it wouldn't make much sense in that line. Moreover, I think the last word of the last stanza somehow detracts from this poem. Consider using some word like "sentiments" instead; it still rhymes.
:iconephemeral-vampyre:
Hmm, although I agree with the changin of 'you're' to 'your' which I still get confused over...lol :p, I don't quite see the problem with the word essence. To me it represents your soul and in that way it fits in with the hidden side. *shrugs* Just what I thought.
I like it though, reminds me of an older piece I did, but you've managed to carry it out more effectively. Well done :)

I wasn't prepared for any of this.

i know that you're is a contraction of you are... i am just a bad typist and make silly mistakes which PEDANTIC people point out :giggle: JOke.

No thanks for pointing htat out, i'm such a lazy twat i would never have noticed had you not pointed it out.

Um... as for sentiment. I don't think it fits for what i'm trying to say. Essence does seem like a bit of forced rhyming but its a necessary semblance because i feel it works for what i was trying to convey.

As again thaknyou for taking the time to critique my work. I believe you are not a big fan of my rather romantic poetry and lustful stories... Each to his own.

Once again thankyou for the advice and keep up your own good work. :D

Take care luv.

Yeah, I'm not all about the romantic and lustful stuff despite the fact that I'm in a relationship! But I should apologize for this, because it may sometimes cause me to come off harsh and I probably am being harsh, which I don't want to be. Also I'll apologize for the grammar nazi-ing of your stuff... not good form on my part. You keep up your work - I'd rather read it and know that someone knows what she's doing than read the tripe that is out there.
:iconjacquelynann:
:blush: an apology from Lead... omg i'm going to cry :sniff:

Also i'd just like to put in hear that i really enjoyed your piece "See, Blue Puddles". It was really good.
