Don't let me fall



Forgotten, I was
Then was dug up my grave
Someone was here
To try and me save.
There came a bright light
To guide me from darkness
To grant me my sight.
I couldn't look her way,
She shone too bright,
But she told me "It's okay.
I'm here for you now.
Cower no longer."
And I asked her "How?
I cannot move on
When I lost all my love.
I know not a person
Who can grant it back"
She took my head in her hands
And forced me to look
I stared at this beauty
And violently shook
Forgot all my troubles
All gone away
Forgot she who left me
To die alone
I know not what it is
About this girl
She makes me numb
She makes me shy
She held me tightly
"I won't let you die"
I don't really know her
But we've met before
I don't understand her
But I know of her core
She isn't the prettiest girl out there
But she loves me
I love her
She understands pain
She's better at coping
Won't let it drain
All of her beautiful soul and mind
She told me
"Should we both die today
I wish and I hope and I dearly pray
That we will together be
In a beautiful place
Eternal
Forever
By your side I'll stay
I love you
Please love me
Don't leave my side
I'll hide you from shadows
You hide me from mine
Together like this
'til the end of time
No evil to get us
No death of the mind
No plague and no worry
Pray God hears our prayers
And that He forgives us
And keeps us safe
No falling to darkness
It cannot consume
When the light of the Love
Of the Earth and Sun
No holdings against each other
No evil exists between them
No horrors
No fears
It brightens the Sky"

About this poem

I went through a long depressive phase, and I had a friend who helped me through it. Though, I was in love with her, she ended up breaking me further later on in life.
