Lay Me Down
#3 of Hound's Poetry Corner
This is a poem I wrote for the love of my life. I have been through a lot emotionally the past several months, so I put some of those down to this. Enjoy!
Terrible dreams stir me,
flocking through the callosum.
I am my only enemy,
I've never been more loathsome.
Lay me down here,
shaking with heavy breath.
Wipe away my tears;
bring me back from death.
The years are still young,
and yet we're so old.
When had it all begun?
What tales have we told?
Lay me down here,
where I can be with you.
Stay my fevered stares,
I've been such the fool.
Caged behind fear's claws,
the struggle has been so long,
with nary a day's pause.
Let it make us strong.
So lay me down here,
wrapped up in your arms.
Love without any fear;
I'll keep you from harm.
Lay your head down,
now you can breathe easy.
Let go of your doubt,
because you will always have me.
