Waiting in the shadows, tears upon my cheeks,
Insecure of all these feelings that I seek.
To have lost in love...., or so they say, but
Hush, I don't want to hear. For I am
Afraid, already quite unclear. My heart
Races, with every thudding beat, yet I
Manage to put on a smile, will not give into defeat.
Suck it up girl, swallow that pride. Let the
World see, no longer will you hide. Just
Imagine, all the things that you could hear,
Don't let them see you fall, push aside the fear. And
Emerging from the shadows, I come
Out, ready to face the world. But inside, I'm
Praying, please don't hurt this girl. Not that I
Ever expect to win, but look inside and know,
Now and always, I wait, with arms wide open.

I know what you mean, a good portion of my cd collection comes from reading someone's poetry. And out I go to get the music, lol.
Thank you for reading and commenting.

Wow... this is wonderful
If I keep seeing such wonderful poems based on songs I haven't listened to, I'm going to run my I-tunes money dry
I really enjoyed this... such beautifully penned.
Best of luck in the contest

LOL, actually when I started writing this, that was what was playing. (And I love the song as well) So the words just started hitting me, and out came an acrostic. But I seem to get into these flings of writing poems based on titles of songs in acrostic fashion.
Anyway, thanks for the comments.

Ah, I love this. It reminds me of the song "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed... One of my favorite songs ever.
Beautiful and sad. Well written.
