Somebody Save Me

Somebody save me.

I'm so far down in the shadowy deep,
Please, somebody just drag me to shore,
Right before I take my eternal sleep,
Because I just can't breathe anymore.

Somebody save me.

Suddenly, in goes the cold knife,
With such an unimaginable pain,
Then out flows all the warm life,
Please, don't let this memory remain.

Somebody save me.

I'm standing right in front of you,
So, why is it that you don't see me,
The reaper is coming closer, too,
I need an angel to set me free.

Somebody save me.

Take me someplace safe and warm,
Out of the darkness of the night,
Hold me, shield me from the storm,
Stay here with me until morning's light.

Somebody save me.

This can't be how my life ends,
I will never be able to stop crying,
It is all over before it begins,
Slowly, I can feel my heart dying.

Somebody save me.

Kelly I will save you from all these bad things you have written. You tugged at my heartstrings and made me sad with these horrific and intense words, that display so much sorrow and pain. Thanks for the awesome and sweet comment on my Drinking and Sensitivity poem. Hugs

You don't post any poetry that will not pass the test of time. I can see that you practice the write, rewrite and rewrite again style of composing. Great work, dear Kelly, I'm no longer astonished by your talent... I have come to expect nothing les than perfection.... You control the bar of judgment for all of us..... Jake
