Holding On Tight, I'm Here For You.

by Courageous Dreamer   Jan 8, 2009


My knees have become weak as I fall to the ground,
tears pinch my skin as they flow heavily in a stream.
A dose of pain has been injected into my fragile body,
leaving me numb, unable to feel a single emotion.
All air has escaped from my lungs, it's impossible to breathe.
Depression seems to be stalking me as it creeps closer,
slowly and suddenly it will take over and destroy.

Although bit by bit I'm falling apart to millions of pieces,
I'll use every ounce of strength remaining within,
to hold on tight and be there for you as you encounter
this tragic time in your life, my shoulder still remains open,
there for you at all times if you ever need someone to talk to.
Nothing would make me happier to capture all your pain,
and bottle it up so that you no longer have to feel this way.

    "My knees have become week as I fall to the ground,"
    ^"weak"

    "tears pinch my skin as they flow heavily in a stream."
    ^I LOVE THAT.

    "A dose of pain has been injected into my fragile body,"
    ^I LOVED how you said "dose of pain" sounds like getting a shot of something horrible, very good play on words.

    "I'll use every ounce of strength possibly remaining within,"
    ^I think "possibly" doesnt really belong and just sounds wordy.

    The meaning behind your words here Temps was filled with SOO much meaning that I couldnt help but get lost in your words. A truly strong person is one that is there for someone even if their heart is breaking. Shows what a unselfish and loving soul you have and anybody would be lucky to have someone like you in their life. The emotion behind your words felt so real and I know came straight from your heart.

    Beautifully written my dear.
    *5/5*

    Beautiful and heartfelt words you have written here. The emotions described were immense and gave the reader a good sense of what was going on. I really like your determination in this poem, though you were depressed and sad, you used all your strength to help him, and hold on to him. You were so thoughtful and kind, wanting to always be that someone that he can run to and count on. Wonderful thoughts, you wrote this down perfectly. Every word touched me in my heart, 5/5 from me. Take care and keep writing, always and forever...
