Save Me

Soothing wounds that I thought would never heal
From times and from pasts that I tried to conceal
A touch so soft, so gentle and smooth
Scars of bad memories instantly gone and removed

Forgotten and vanished, starting fresh and anew
Just one touch was needed, just one touch from you
A slick silent whisper carried on the floating breeze
With it coming love, hope and happiness; all that I need

Gone are those days when I’d cry out inside
Gone are the times when I couldn’t decide
Whether it was better to live quietly or slowly subside
Into confusion and darkness, let my heart and soul die

You turned my life ‘round in every which way
Waking up with a hunger for what’s coming these days
Not fearing the future and hiding so small
Because you’re the one that I love most of all

Now just one touch from you is all that I need
One touch from you to help me break free
To finally conquer this pain deep down in me
To let my heart beat contentedly

i love you my angel .x.

Author notes

I saw your contest and I thought this fitted into Option 1 but I guess it is more about moving on which I surely hope you can do in the future. I am so terribly sorry to hear what has happened to you and just wish you all the best for the future. Take care always, seems irrelevent but good luck with your contest xxx love and peace xxx

    Ah, this is what it's all about. Relaxing into life and looking forward to the future because you found the perfect person to share everything with. The inspiration in this is obvious. It's a real celebration, and you wrote a real, honest, original love poem. It's the oldest and most written on subject there is, so that's no small feat!

    I hope things with her are still as great as when you wrote this for her.

    this is amazing
    It fits into option 1 and 3 and it is very well penned.

    "Soothing wounds that I thought would never heal
    From times and from pasts that I tried to conceal
    A touch so soft, so gentle and smooth
    Scars of bad memories instantly gone and removed"
    The opening verse was pertfect I cannot fault the flow and rhyme it is perfect.
    gone and remouved are the same but they arn't and some fade and some are physicaly lifted by somthing or someone and it was that mystery and double meaning that made this paragraph electrifing.

    "Forgotten and vanished, starting fresh and anew
    Just one touch was needed, just one touch from you
    A slick silent whisper carried on the floating breeze
    With it coming love, hope and happiness; all that I need"
    This is great the way you kinda expressed my need for her preasance and the repetition emphasises how desparate i am for her safe return.

    "Gone are those days when I’d cry out inside
    Gone are the times when I couldn’t decide
    Whether it was better to live quietly or slowly subside"
    cry out juxtaposes with inside and internal emotions this is well thought about. It is interesting to read the options to the remouval of pain and solutions to my situation aswell.

    "Because you’re the one that I love most of all"
    This is true I love her she is my world always was and will be and I'm so glad this line is here simple and clear very well expressed thankyou -grin-

    "To let my heart beat contentedly"

    "I love you my angel .x."
    favorite word contentedly a word that breathes safety and happiness in one a sense of completion and happy endingthis lifted my spirits and the last line is the greatest ending becasue i often called her angel so good guess.
    thankyou for entering and supporting my contest and I wish you good luck

    That was an amazing write. Unfortunately you already won silver with it, and I said in the rules that I only wanted prewrites that had yet to win a trophy. Sorry, but you are DQ.

    Everyone go 'awwwww'. Not only do I understand the rhyme scheme, but I think this poem is kick ass. No shit. I adore this. It's just so cute, and yet so reformed-emo at the same time. If that's even a phrase. It is now! Anyways, I seriously love this poem. Like, sooo much. The phrases you use are just so cool! And the way you rhyme things. Although, pet pirate? Isn't that demeaning to the Pirates of America? Just kidding lol. All I can picture now is a giant parrot with a mini pirate on it's shoulder, saying, 'Pirate wanna cracker.' That's very twisted.

    When you find that one love, the one that takes you from the brink of loneliness, to a place where you can fly above the clouds, that is a precious and beautiful thing...outstanding dedication of love...smile...David

    love this poem a lot.

    "Soothing wounds that I thought would never heal
    From times and from pasts that I tried to conceal
    A touch so soft, so gentle and smooth
    Scars of bad memories instantly gone and removed"

    that's a very good stanza. the rhyme is awesome too.
    the way you express your love for thomasine is great.
    i'm impressed
    i hope she reads this. its quite nice. its beautiful.
    thats an understatement. ihave no other words to describe how wonderful you say how you feel.
