I trust in you

by Ruthie   Jan 25, 2007


The walls close in
the air is stale
All life is drained
as my fire pales

The door is closed
shutting out light
The darkness flows
and with it night

When all despair
and shout in fear
My knees find the floor
Ears open to hear

I trust in you
when all is lost
I trust in you
No matter the cost

I trust in you
When all would fail
I trust in you
I trust in you

The past comes in
like crashing waves
There is no warmth
that my heart craves

All things look grim
and out of hand
I just can't find
the will to stand

When all despair
and shout in fear
My knees find the floor
ears open to hear

I trust in you
when all is lost
I trust in you
no matter the cost

I trust in you
If i should fall
I trust in you
no longer small

I trust in you
Your sweet embrace
I trust in you
your saving grace

I trust in you
when my strength fails
I trust in you
I trust in you

Nothing stands
In your way
Power is yours
No debts to pay

Your sacrifice
wipes all slates clean
In your presence
weary souls lean

Though all the pain
your ways are just
Always I'll say
I trust in you

    I personally love it. I think that the last not-rhyming line gives your poem a quirky unexpected twist. I think it's cute. :)

    I think I know why the rating was like that, The last line is weird, I would put In you I trust instead, it's still the same words, just in an order that fits with the last stanza better you know? But then again, it might not have totally fit in with the repitition...but yea, thats just my opinion. But I thoguht the rest was great! 5/5. and I'm gonna add you to my favorite's and read more of your stuff, cause your really good.
