Tower Over Me

I sit lost in myself
Or rather I have lost myself somewhere
Why is it that I can't feel you
like I have been able to before
My soul is numb
and I am broken beyond repair
I want you to tower over me
Protect me with your love
My being cries out for you
to restore me again
Take from me this noose
I have created
Take from me the blade
of a life that I don't want anymore
I want to live
I need to heal
I want to be whole again
and I can only be whole if you'd just
Tower Over Me

Author notes

Inspired by Paramore's We are Broken. Pretty much one of the best songs ever!

    Very emotional, simple perhaps yet emotional. To feel that one needs to heal is harder than much else particualarly when one does not feel that they can. Thank you for entering my contest.

    ah... we lose ourselves and find ourselves a thousand times a day, such is the crazy life of thinking, introspection a good poem.

    Excellent metaphors in this one. It's always interesting to see what songs inspire in people. Very nicely written!

    I've heard of the band! Haven't heard of the song though lol, but it must've been pretty good to inspire a great poem . The idea is just wonderful, describing the hope that someone will come back with the despair that they'll never be there again woven into it. Awesome!
    GREAT job
    diggin it majorly
