Pick Me Up

Can I rest my weary head on you?
There is nowhere else to be
Just hear your heart, hear it to
Beat its steady beat for me

Can we be so quiet here?
There is nothing I can say
No words in me, so much fear
You cannot make it go away

Just be for a while, just be
So I can sleep, not be afraid
Because I know that I'll badly
Need every soothing thing you said

To feel that I am still alive
That I am worth to be around
That I am here with you, I've
Won this time, feel ground.

Emile Pinet Date: 4/22/2017 3:31:00 PM Your poem express great emotion and carries a consistent theme of love's triumph over time and pain. An outpouring of emotions that drips unto the page, seeping deep into the readers thoughts. It is a summary of love, as seen through the eyes a poet, and a tribute to a feeling perhaps passive but not forgotten or forsaken. Emile. #7 Login to Reply Darren White Date: 4/22/2017 11:05:00 PM Emile, thank you. It is indeed a quietly emotional poem :)

Miraj Raha Date: 4/22/2017 1:29:00 AM yes Darren, sometime you need someone to just be with you.NO words are needed, the silence alone can alleviate the pain. Login to Reply Darren White Date: 4/22/2017 1:33:00 AM Exactly. Having to explain all the time what is wrong with you is tiresome. You need someone to be with without questions and judgment.
