#comforted - Hello Poetry

I am not my own. I should remember this Every time I cry alone. I was surprised to know That I can feel comforted in your arms. I can feel soothed by your words, You can keep me warm. I’m not enough for myself If it’s not safe to be inside. I realised that when there’s a storm There’s no place to hide Yet you become the shelter I use to confide. It’s spectacular! All this time I missed out on something so simple. You’ve only ever been an arm’s length away, And all this time I thought there was no point in opening up If there was no place for me to stay. I am not my own. I should remember this Every time I cry alone.

Comforted

I am not my own. I should remember this Every time I cry alone. I was surprised to know That I can feel comforted in your arms. I can feel soothed by your words, You can keep me warm. I’m not enough for myself If it’s not safe to be inside. I realised that when there’s a storm There’s no place to hide Yet you become the shelter I use to confide. It’s spectacular! All this time I missed out on something so simple. You’ve only ever been an arm’s length away, And all this time I thought there was no point in opening up If there was no place for me to stay. I am not my own. I should remember this Every time I cry alone.

i recall the soft touch of your hand on my infant cheek-- so delicate in the moment, but so menacing later on. i recall the warmth of your skin as it comforted my shaking hand-- so calm in the moment, but so frightening later on. i recall the sweetness of your smile as it had shone its luminescent glow upon me-- so beautiful in the moment, but so unsettling later on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i can't quite understand why you no longer hold my hand. see, you have a light touch so full of love, that it could burst at any moment-- giving way to something sour. i don't see the reason for you to make my eyelids change color every season. see, i have bruises like silk and blood like milk-- your emotions could drink it all in one sitting. i don't understand why my heart still beats if the scale of my wrongdoing is so grand. see, i have a droplet of hope, but it falls into an ocean of fear

He held out his hand for her to hold when she was afraid and unsure. He comforted her worried heart with the strength of his smile. He saved the last of her will with the warmth of his words. And then with all the things he did for her, he became the love she knew.

The Love She Knew

He held out his hand for her to hold when she was afraid and unsure. He comforted her worried heart with the strength of his smile. He saved the last of her will with the warmth of his words. And then with all the things he did for her, he became the love she knew.
