With just one kiss,
You can send me crashing into a million pieces.
With just one touch,
You can heal the scars of a heart so fragile.
With just one smile,
You can light the path to serenity.
But with just three words,
You can unleash the power to transform a life so ordinary.
Come rescue me from the space between right and wrong.
Be my victor, slayer of the demons that haunt my dreams.
In these four walls of solitude is where I wait...
...for just one kiss.

I like this. I like that you didn't restrict yourself by keeping your stanzas the same rhythm/length/pattern... The emotion was present but it was done quite eloquently. The only problem I have is that the ending felt a little redundant... I think you could have a more powerful last line. But all the same, I really like this poem. Thanks for entering.
