Flicker

Contributed by MoonlightKiss on Friday, 27th February 2009 @ 12:11:29 PM in AEST
Topic: toughstuff



I try to gather your heart in my hands
But it slips through my fingers just like sand
He announces he's leaving
Thinking you aren't breathing
But I can hear your broken heart beat
Like flicker; a flame in life's heat
I will pick you up, carry you home
You're the only pure soul I have ever known

I try to piece your world back together
But your wounds won't seem to get any better
I've given you everything to improve your health
Now you must do the rest by yourself
I can feel that flicker getting stronger
The fire within is just a flame no longer
I know you will come back better than before
I will not tolerate you hurting, not anymore.

You're like a warm winter day in fall
You don't really make any sense at all
But I see the new spark within
I know you'd be the one to win
But now that you can stand on your own
Now that the flicker has certainly grown
Will you stay close, right here with me?
Or will you spread your wings and be free?

Nice poem... I really like this
"You're like a warm winter day in fall
You don't really make any sense at all"

Nice and I can relate.

this was a really great write. I loved it. the flow was awsome. the idea that you've helped someone as much as you can and it's time for them to do their thing is very relatable...nicely done.
