Hold My Hand

by C Cattaway   Apr 7, 2018


I listened to the radio.
The songs were playing loud.
I tried to write some words, to match,
But there are none I've found
That say quite how I'm feeling.
I guess this is all so new,
That there is nothing I can say.
Not yet. Not about you.

I tried to make my feelings
Turn to words. But nothing works.
I don't know how I say it,
When I know how I've been hurt,
Yet there is something different,
In the hope that's come to life.
I tried to cut the feelings out,
Yet find I've lost the knife.

The wondrous thing I notice most,
Is how my hope's renewed.
I see that there are other ways
That all this can be viewed.
I'm lost, for now, within your gaze.
I know you'll understand.
Be patient, while my heart still grieves.
Please gently take my hand.

I'll show you I can try again.
I never gave up then.
I didn't want to feel so troubled,
Even knowing when
I had to make decisions,
That led me to walk away.
But if you stand beside me now,
I know we'll have our day.

So walk with me a little while.
Keep close, to hold my hand.
Tell me your thoughts, with honesty,
Like only your lips can.
Hold on, while I find new things hard,
And catch me if I fall,
Because I think I'm worth it,
And I'll only give my all.

    Thank you for such lovely comments. It's ok to be sad when you're happy, & it's ok to be happy when you're sad. It's ok to be scared when you're excited. But mostly, it's ok to keep hoping when you thought it was lost. Onwards & upwards :-)
    Much love,

    I showed this to my better half and he said what I feel that I could have definitely wrote it though I told him it would be nowhere near as good as this if I did.. I was going to comment on each section but felt it too beautiful to do so.. Take care

    Aw Catherine ... yes of course you're worth it, and if he is too ... he'll wait and be patient ... sounds like he is though. A really heartfelt, lovely rhyming poem :-) x
