Lead Me

I didn't use to think of death,

but you bought me there,

I was facing death,

alone... cause you weren't here,

I couldn't see your face,

fill with confident and proud,

I couldn't gain strength,

without you there.

I didn't use to think of death,

but you bought me there,

and then you were gone,

left me hopeless,

but I couldn't blame you,

you had your own business,

I was weak and fragile,

only if I am lost,

without you there.

Please do come back,

I didn't know how,

was I going to stop breaking,

how was I supposed,

not to break,

without you there.

Would you tell me where you were?

Just give me some strength,

to lead me far far away,

from the darkness...

ooo.. i really like this. I can feel the pain through the words here..
yeah..its hard when that person we need the most in our life isn't there to support us. But we seek strength either way. The longness for someone is very well shown. Great poem!

[Midnight_Mystery]

This is a really good poem, Great thought.

Wow--this is amazing. Probably the best poem that you have wrote yet and will be added to my favourites! There are some BRILLIANT lines in here, I was going to tell you my favourite, but then I realized that they all are like my favourite so it would pretty much be copying the whole poem in here, so I'll refrain.

I noticed one mistake while reading it--fill with confident and proud. That should be, full of confidence and pride -- :)

Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for posting this.

Keep writing! :)

Death is a funny topic with me. In the Native American belief. Death is always close and waiting. I like the feel and emotion of this poem. A very good ending to a very good poem.

We all at some point in our lives think of death, and where we go after, but you are far to young to be contemplating this dark subject, though the poem was good and well thought out I feel....lets see some happy stuff :O)

This is extremely sad work.
You really tugged at the heart strings.

This was a dark poem. Sometimes people can lead us onto those dark paths. But we gotta rise above! You can't just wait hoping for them to lift you, or else you'll be stuck.
It's a hard place to be sometimes! It hurts and feels like there's no escaping, know the feeling!
I love your poetry, it's getting stronger and stronger every time I read. Great write!

It's kind of heart-breaking to a girl like me. It's really heart-breaking that when the time we need people to support us, but there was no one. It's really loniess. Anyway, nice job on this.

this sounds like it can be turned into a song. I imagine a very beautiful song. i really liked the way you started the first 2 stanzas with the same 2 lines. that adds emotion and reittereates (is that how you spell it?) the lost and confusion.
overall, i really liked it. well done :)
