Hold On

Yeah I watched
your fingers turn
let the embers
burn
And I'll light your candles
one
    by
      one
This lets you know
 that the day is done

And all of those smiles
they
faded
   so quick
You flicker...and unravel
like your home made
candle sticks

And when you put the sheets
   over the windows
That's how they'll know
Oh yeah
  That is how they'll know

Your shining eyes,
I saw them linger
but you still refused
to look at
  the stars
So I couldn't see
 the reflection, couldn't
feel the pain
  beyond your scars

Just let the ink
bleed from
  your hands
Pour it all out
   and find
yourself again

Cause winter's
reflect(ion) has cast
   an eerie glow
and you're doing
everything
you said   you wouldn't do

Don't let yesterdays
come back
    to haunt you

I agree with Ed! almost like a monologue about moving forward and embracing the new!! brilliantly written, I really like the sentiments portrayed here - great imagery to help the message - the winter's reflections... yesterday's etc. - very nice poem!!! bravo!

This is sweet. There is a calming nature that caused me
to focus. It's like a Mantra.

a classic soliloquy complete with its ghost ~ your poetic heart is beating strong once again ~

[Hippy]

sounds cool i still dont like how you move from line to line
not that it doesnt flow good
or that its bad
its just you cut a line in half where i feel it makes it a little sore on the eye
but its whatever still good

[smalltownsympathies]

Lyrics much?
fantastic.

[DalainaRenee]

I love the story this tells. One of those poetry and storys all in one makes a great read!

[An owl on the moon]

Such painful recollections and warnings voiced to protect the day... the heart and mind... Your words evoke a depth of emotion and courage.

[Ed Hart]

i get the feeling you're talking to yourself
