Be My Pencil

It's the letter of a lover,
Written to his lady bird;
Emotions are filled in it,
And there's meaning in every word.

Be my pencil says the lover,
And I will be your eraser;
We are just like them,
Incomplete without each other.

I will erase your griefs,
And be your comforter;
I will sharp your life,
Just like a sharpener.

Being there in every line,
I will not let you fail;
Whenever you would need me,
I will be your scale.

In this heart of mine,
Before beating it stops,
If you be my pencil,
I will keep you in that box.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
