Aww that is such a deep poem but so sweet at the same time. It really reaches out to you and makes you feel empathy for the people in it.
Your first lines : I want to stitch back every dream
he was told would never make it,
- These hold a lot of meaning as through out life you will always be told by people that you will not make it and it has a great affect on your confidence.
:and if you'd only look at me closer,
instead of
cowering
- I loved this line, I could picture this clearly in my mind and the frustration and desperation you would feel for them to trust you enough to let you love them and perhaps love in return.
My favourite is indeed your ending : you'd know I'll put you first
and for the first time,
I would bear the weight of your
castle-like heart,
and try to hold you
together.
- Aww... I do just think this is so sweet and in a way its like the only thing they need is the one thing they are scared of.
