lets stay awake
and listen to the night
embrace one another
until we see daylight
or shall we stay here
forever on this high?
you could lend me your wings
i'll show you how to fly
i'll give you my heart
if you promise to cherish it
lend me your skin
i will gladly climb into it
lets stay together
and listen to the night
can we, shall we...
pretend until daylight?

love the name of the list
this is cute and innocent. there's a vulnerability here that comes through especially in the last two lines.

Aw, this is really so sweet! Play pretend until daylight...just like little kids who still have a huge imagination and impossible wishes. It sort of brought a smile to my face, especially as it's night time where I am. =)

I love how this poem reads like a song in my head. It's melody is so sweet and lovely. I especially adore the lines "lend me your skin/i will gladly climb into it" because they are so interesting. Great job.

a good poem, here have my skin, i don't need it anyway, i will go and run around the flats leaving bloodied footsteps everywhere, no one will know it is me, well the footprints might give me away but i will pretend it was someone else and say wonna me.

Very cute and emotional. The flow was a little strange with the lack of punctuation, but otherwise very smooth. The rhyme scheme helped it a long, I think, and added a cute touch to the feeling of the piece.

I Could I use this? I want to read it to a girl, I won't claim credit, though, don't worry.

i like this one...very sweet
so many good sounds on a nice night. -
This is amazing. I love the line "you could lend me your wings / i'll show you how to fly". By saying that, it implies that the other person cannot fly, even though they have wings, and that only together can they realise their full potntial.
