Hush now

by Aish   Aug 18, 2008


Hush now, wipe your eyes
and ill sing to you a laullaby,
Hold you to my bosom tight
we'll stay like this all through the night.

There is no monster under the bed
Im here-no need for more tears to be shed,
Ill be keep you safe from harm
mummy holds you in her arms.

I simply wish you could see me
and i could take back that last memory,
Of that stupid, shameful fight
and how i didnt tuck you in that night.

I left in the morning before you woke
shouts of abuse-the last words we spoke,
It was raining hard and i didnt see
that i was headed head-on into the tree.

I slammed my foot on the break too late
i wouldn't accept that this was my fate,
The impact was hard but it ended quick
my heart rolling over in one final "tick".

We didn't get to say goodbye
oh how i hated to see you cry,
You blamed yourself and you couldn't see
that the only one at fault was me.

I think of the last words I said
and i am filled with guilt and dread,
I wish you could see, and hear me too
so i coud say afew things that are long over-due.

I'm proud of everything youve done
and the beautiful young woman you've beome,
I'll always be watching-always be here
theres no need to cry-nothing to fear.

Live for the future, not fir the past
just promise you'll let the good memories last,
Nothing I said the othr night was true
I always have and will love you.

Hush now, wipe your eyes
and ill sing to you a lullaby,
hold you to my bosom tight
we'll stay like this, all through the night.

*This poem is written for all those people who leave or are left without having the chance to say goodbye and might have said some wrong things-dont regret those terrible last words, rememberthe good times, the hugs, kisses, laughter.*

    "Hush now, wipe your eyes
    and ill sing to you a laullaby,
    Hold you to my bosom tight
    we'll stay like this all through the night."

    I really liked the beginning, "hush now", it was just so comforting and sweet.

    "ill" should be "I'll".

    "laullaby" should be "lullaby".

    "There is no monster under the bed
    Im here-no need for more tears to be shed,
    Ill be keep you safe from harm
    mummy holds you in her arms."

    Third line should read like this: "I'll keep you safe from harm". It would make more sense.

    "I simply wish you could see me
    and i could take back that last memory,
    Of that stupid, shameful fight
    and how i didnt tuck you in that night."

    This is really heartbreaking, but you express your grief well.

    "i" needs to be "I".

    "didnt" should be "didn't".

    "I left in the morning before you woke
    shouts of abuse-the last words we spoke,
    It was raining hard and i didnt see
    that i was headed head-on into the tree."

    "i" - "I".

    "didnt" - "didn't".

    A very emotional piece...

    "I slammed my foot on the break too late
    i wouldn't accept that this was my fate,
    The impact was hard but it ended quick
    my heart rolling over in one final "tick"."

    Don't feel the need for the " " on "tick".

    "i" - "I".

    What really strikes the reader here is the very thought of leaving the house after a fight and then having that on your mind 'til your last moment.

    "We didn't get to say goodbye
    oh how i hated to see you cry,
    You blamed yourself and you couldn't see
    that the only one at fault was me."

    "i" - "I".

    "I think of the last words I said
    and i am filled with guilt and dread,
    I wish you could see, and hear me too
    so i coud say afew things that are long over-due."

    "afew" should be "a few".

    "i" should be "I".

    I liked the over-due part though..

    "I'm proud of everything youve done
    and the beautiful young woman you've beome,
    I'll always be watching-always be here
    theres no need to cry-nothing to fear."

    "youve" should be "you've".

    "theres" should be "there's".

    "Live for the future, not fir the past
    just promise you'll let the good memories last,
    Nothing I said the othr night was true
    I always have and will love you."

    "fir" should be "for".

    "othr" should be "other".

    A very touching stanza that portrays such a message to all.

    "Hush now, wipe your eyes
    and ill sing to you a lullaby,
    hold you to my bosom tight
    we'll stay like this, all through the night."

    I love the repetition here, it was used well.

    Overall, 4/5 from me, I think you typed this up a bit too fast, there were many errors but the content was heart-grabbing, it just was flowing with feeling and passion.

    God Bless you!

    Very interesting poem you have here. Its so touching. The way it was written was unique - in the way you set it up and used your words. But it was very meaningful and that's what counts.

    I also loved the fact that you used the first stanza as the last. It made the poem end on a great finish. And sometimes, that's a hard task. :)

    Keep writing I loved this poem :) 5/5
