Lost...

I've been feeling really emotional lately, so my well thought out stuff surfaces, but don't worry I'll be back to the dumb stuff in a bit...maybe.

Deeper, deeper I fall into these arms that I call home.
so willing to love yet unwilling to trust.
my heart pounds faster with every sweet whisper
but my mind can't give myself away,
I catch myself right before I fall.
I need you, I realize as my heart hits the floor.

Silently I wait.
Trapped in the familiar sound of the calm.
But I am not calm, I can't help but long for you.
Room spinning.
Mind racing.
Love fading.
I need you, I say, as my heart hits the floor.

Crying, I realize,
Nights like this are lonely.
Tonight is just one of many.
I am yours
But how can that be?
Love in the absence of you?
I need you, desperately, as my heart hits the floor.

Deeper I fall,
Silently I wait,
Crying I realize,
Without you, I'm lost.
I need you.

Don't let my heart hit the floor.

Excellent poem, although it breaks my heart.
I'm not sure where these thoughts are coming from, what events are driving these emotions, but know that you are loved.
Isn't great that we have a Father who laid down His heart so that He could catch yours?

Can I publish your work on my blog? I have some thoughts that I would like to share. If so can I link them back to you or would you like me to keep you on the DL?
