Sunday Poetry: Love Letter

by: Lucy R.

When you feel like you are drowning

And don’t know for what you live

Know that you can do the taking, and it’s my love that I give

When the voices fill the silence

With their lies and absolutes

I will rescue you, my dear, with dreams and wilder truths

So let them say you can’t fly

I see the light in your eyes

Sometimes you felt, like what’s the use

There is no hope of love for you

Just a sad routine, and healing scars

But you keep sight on that bright star

And in time you’ll see, what I just knew

You were meant to win more than you lose

For every piece, of broken heart

Has led my way to where you are

When you feel like those who listen

Just don’t seem to understand

Every hope that you will speak, I hold it in my hand

When the riddle you with speeches

Of how your list of faults is long

I will take you in my arms, and show you that they’re wrong

Don’t get down, don’t get sad

They don’t know what we have

In this tight embrace, feel my heart melt

It’s how you know that all is well

Don’t be afraid, to let it go

I’ll be the one that you can show

Every single tear, every beaming smile

You can rest your heart from all those miles

I won’t ever leave, I won’t say no

I’ll be the one you call your own
