Hold My Hand

by Midnight Sun   Jan 8, 2008


I wanna tell you a secret
I'll whisper it in your ear
Then you can smile with warmth
And wipe away my salty tears

Just promise you won't laugh
When I share this shame
You know it's importance
It reflects badly on my name

So help me through this
Be my closest friend
You promised you'd be there
Until my fateful end

Make me forget this
Let me pretend I'm free
I'm dying soon anyway
So I need this guaranteed

Yes my end is so near
And I want to die standing
So hold my cold hand
While this hell I'm withstanding

*It's been a really long time since I've written anything...this was my piece to beat writer's block so I'd REALLY appreciate any comments you have for it. Thank you! :)

    It was good, especially it being your first piece after writer's block, don't I just know how that feels, lol. I think the weakest stanza, was the first one. You could've said 'ears' instead of 'ear' and you could've taken out the 'salty', both of these suggestions I feel would have made the stanza flow better. I liked what it was about, and also that you never shared the secret. I think, I THINK, don't quote me, but I think the best stanza was the last one. I loved the rhyme (which is always key for me), and the last line especially was strong and powerful.

    I liked it allot! Hope your writers block is broken, can't wait to read more.

    I really liked the balance and rythym of this poem, Allanon is right, it really flowed well.

    Definitely dark! I liked it as a whole, though there were some parts I thought needed another syllable or two to help the flow. Like the third stanza, first line, but overall, i loved the idea of the piece because it truly carried this dark feel to it the whole way through. The line "i'm dying soon anyway" was very creative! Kinda creepy girly! lol Good job!
