He Was

by ShyandHurt   Mar 19, 2009


He was my world
Sweet and kind
He saved me time and time again
Now that he's gone I've become blind.

He brought color to my eyes
Cleared my lungs of the dust
When I was with him everything was ok
Now my lungs are filled with dirt...oh there goes a dirty gust.

Now that he's left
There is no color
I can't find anything but grey
And I can't stand any taller.

He was my world
Standing for love
Holding me up
My cold hand covered by his glove.

He was my world....
Now he's just a memory of sweet pain
One I will never forget
The memory I shall forever contain.

    (Good opening, makes me want to know what happens next.)

    You brought color to my eyes
    Cleared my lungs of the dust
    When I was with you everything was ok
    Now my lungs are filled with dirt...oh there goes a dirty gust.
    (beautiful imagery, simply the best part of the poem)
    Now that you've left
    There is no color
    I can't find anything but grey
    And I can't stand any taller.
    (I know what you mean about finding just gray)
    He was my world
    Standing for love
    Holding me up
    My cold hand covered by your glove.
    (i like how you repeat he is my world, lets me know he is important to you)
    He was my world....
    Now he's just a memory of sweet pain
    One I will never forget
    The memory I shall forever contain.
