He Tried
by Erin JonesI drop to my knees
Screaming someone please
Just help me
He tried
Held me firmly
Set me in this reality
I avoided so carefully
I screamed
As the world sunk in its teeth
I turned and said quietly
“I just need to see
One reason I should be
Here without you with me.”
He looked back at me

P.S. - The poem rocked. it's so melancholy, but the quotes give it life beyond mere words. your writing is improving drastically over the past year. . . Not that it wasn't good before, but you're improving so much. makes me wanna cry :) |
