*~Prompt Inspired~*

Hi guys!
And welcome to my 3rd contest!
Thank you to Poetry-and-rhyme, who very kindly gave me a large amount of points, which made this contest possible! So thank you!
I thought I would try something different, so this contest will be inspired by some lyrics, from one of my favourite songs!

I love poems with good imagery, metaphors, similes, emotion and feeling, I want something from the heart, rhyming poems are good, but please only do this if you are good at rhyming.

RULES:

+ Absolutely no Sticky Caps!
+ No erotica please
+ Absolutely no bashing, or you will be DQed!
+ Reservations are fine, but after a week or so, and there is no poem, I may DQ you without notice.
+ Please read the lyrics below carefully, your poem, can be based on the whole song, a particular section or line, or could just be on something the song reminds you of. Please indicate this in your notes, failure to do so is breaking a rule, and you may be DQed.
+ One entry per person.

And last of all, have fun!

Lyrics- Signal Fire, by Snow Patrol

The perfect words never crossed my mind
Cause there was nothing in there but you
I felt every ounce of me, screaming out
But the sound was trapped deep in me

All I wanted, just sped right past me
But I was rooted fast to the earth
I could be stuck here for a thousand years
Without your arms to drag me out

There you are, standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety

No, I won't wait forever (x2)

In the confusion, and the aftermath
You are my signal fire
The only resolution and the only joy
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes

There you are, standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety

There you are, standing right in front of me (x2)
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety

No, I won't wait forever (x3)
