The world is coming at me hard and strong
breaking down my wall of steel.
So maybe ,it's straw
But I need it to survive.
With you with me my wall was untouched
for your arms held the world back.
Like a blanket they kept out the cold.
You never knew I cared.
But I do,
I love you.
But for you I held it back.
Now it's over and I can't go back.
You don't call anymore
and you look away.
I'm juilty too.
To be in your arms where I was safe
from harm
to hear your heart beat,
beating in time with mine.
Like a mother holding her new born baby
keeping it safe from harm.
Like a father holding his crying little girl telling her
everything will be fine.
But they don't know me,
they don't know you.
We had our problems
but if I knew you would leave me
I'd want to be held in your arms once again
to feel the warmth
to hear your heart beat again.
Reason for writing:
I wrote this two years ago and this poem applies to many regrets in relationships. You never know when the one you love will leave you.
