Close your eyes

by Robert   Apr 24, 2013


Can you take a moment to close your eyes
As I connect your lips to mine
Don't feel so sad, for it takes some time
To move on and forget the past

Its not that your right, and your definitely not wrong
This world can betray you sometimes
But if you look around you just might find
Me holding out my hand

So just take my hand and ill hold you close
The way I act tells you more than I say
Don't worry now it's gonna be okay
Ill be there for you
ill be there for you
When you just cant hold on

Ill carry you if you fall
Cheer you up when your feeling down
Save your life if you begin to drown
From your sadness deep inside
Just let your worries swim on out
And save a lifejacket for that one good smile
For I know I can make this all worth while

Just close your eyes
And let me connect your lips to mine

    This poem almost reads like a song :) It is so beautifully worded and expressed. I actually love the part that says ....

    "So just take my hand and ill hold you close"

    it is the sentiment of the whole poem I think... That you are offering your hand of friendship, strength and love to this person. That you will hold them close, taking their sadness way.

    I loved this poem a lot!

    As always very heartouching :)
    Well done Robert and keep penning! :))

    Ah, haha no wonder.

    You know, when I read that line.

    but if you look around, you just might find me holding out my hand.

    ^^ I picture let's say "you" holding out your hand.... holding your hand. So it didn't make sense or at least it sounded strange. I mean why would you hold your own hand? that was my thought.

    But now that I know it's holding out my hand to you then that makes a whole lot of sense.

    Also my bad, I was so distracted by that line that I didn't pay attention to the line that follow. It's more explained with that one.

    I like the ending the most,

    There is something strange on this one:s

    But if you look around you just might find
    Me holding out my hand

    ^^ is it my hand or your hand? But if you look around, you just might find me holding out your hand.

    I think that's how i pictured it base on the rest of the poem. I mean it's a bit strange to find yourself holding out your hand XD... Specially since I feel a feeling of reassurance that everything will be okay.

      Depends on who your giving this poem to really. In this case it would be me holding out my hand to you. Or you could think of it has someone houlding out their hand to you when your feeling down.
