Thank You.

With my head hung low
And my fingers stretching forward
I was begging the world to take me.
Not understanding the sudden change in speed
I gripped onto the closest sleeve.
Hoping for comfort
And praying for support.

But that bridge, seeping with roses
and layered only with the sweetest aromas
turned out to be a ruse.
My knees buckled beneath me.

And I cried soundlessly
Lifeless, in my enemy’s embrace.

Fall down? I crashed.
Fall apart? I crumbled.
Regret? With every part of me.
Cry? Until my eyes fell.
Hope? Never.

Until you.
You rescued me.
Shocking me back into more
than simple existence.

Fall down? I crashed.
Fall apart? I crumbled.
Hope? Never.

Not until you.
You rescued me.

Thank you.

Beautiful.
I love the imagry, and the repetition to reinforence it. The short simplisity of the sentances make them all the more powerful and sincere. A truely beautiful poem.

Beautifully written. I like the repetition, and how you broke it down. Great read.
