I Don'T Want To Watch You Fall Away

Take off the mask sweetheart I know who you are Give me the pills and put the bottle down Lean on me just for a little while Listen to my heart beat And know that I'm alive for you You're a little distant love Please don't walk away from me I know this feels hopeless, but - Promise me you won't lose faith dear I hear those screams you think are silent Take down the wall and let me in I see your hands are shaking I understand that you're scared But just rest your head on my shoulder baby - and I'll chase away those fears If you'd just let me hold you I wouldn't have to tell you that everything's going to be alright You'd feel it If you'd just look into my eyes You'd see it Take off the mask sweetheart I know who you are I don't want to watch you fall away from me Please give me the pills and put the bottle down...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. 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.

Good poem. Excuse me...the pill's name defines how valuable or good your poetry is. You detest alcoholism seemingly. Wishing you all the best and success.
