The Rescue

In the darkness I have lied
Bruised and battered all my life
Torn and shamed bloodied and broken
Feelings of hurt all unspoken
The tortures I've taken
The beatings withstood
The lies I've swallowed
All for them
For love I desired
But love it was not
Simply another promise broken
I lie here now eyes sealed shut with my blood
It has crusted my mouth not a word do I speak
Nothing can I see and my body does not move
For the broken limbs and fear that grips me
I hear something approach the fear rises again
The hope of a savior but knowledge that none will come
The footsteps fall softly and stop at my form
I shiver so slightly I feel a hand reach out
The thought comes - here I go again
Another hand to scorn me
Beat me into submission
Then the gentle touch across my cheek
I flinch and shudder but the touch remains soft
The confusion sets in and my thoughts tumble
Is this a trick a way to earn my trust
Then when I think it will be okay the lashings will start?
Oh God someone help me - take me away from my thoughts
Away from my life and the feelings I hold
Something soft on my face damp and warm on my eyes
The blood melts away and I open my eyes
Blinking away blindness as the blood smears away
The light that shines from this one is blinding to me
I close my eyes in wonder and fear
And open them again as my wounds start to heal
The crusted blood wiped from every crack of my skin
I open my mouth and softly plead
Do- don't hurt me not again I cannot deal
Then a voice sounds - not one of my own
One that is soft loving and stern
I won't wouldn't dream of it my job is to heal
I look on the face of my angel for once
A tear streaks my own from the beauty I see
Soft eyes that betray a love I have not held
And an anger to those who have made me this way
Those orbs of soft greens and grays
A myriad rainbow enticing to me
The pools I look into and get lost for days
My paralasys slowly seeps away and I reach out a hand
Timid and soft to touch this one that I have dreamed of
To ensure this dream is not but is real
I stop before I reach the face that I love
For fear that there isn't one there
That this is a dream that I often have had
And when I reach to touch it always disappears
And a hand reaches mine as if reading my thoughts touches my hand
Pulls it to his face I feel the solid frame
And the love washes me clean of the doubts and fears
And I softly sing love me like this forever and a day
And I in turn will always do the same
Then strong arms surround me I am up off of the ground
A feeling of soaring with this love I have found
Then gently I am set onto a soft bed
Made of love and dreams and a life yet to live

This is something that I wrote a long time ago after I met my now husband. I originally posted it on another site under a pen name. I know it's not clean and gets really rough in places, I'm not a poet, please don't be hard in your critique, though I do encourage constructive crit.


Edit: For any who have seen this before, yes, it's been edited, I cleaned up a couple of typos, as well as changed a couple of words as they fit better (omitting a "the" or adding some small word similar to that). If you want to see the original please feel free to ask.

I think you wrote this beautifully girl. Even though it is rough, the emotions are definately powerful indeed. It is just sad that you had to have your emotions dragged through that spiral.

Wow

d R A c LI tH Says:

Aw, this is well written, I love the emotion

Minstrel Ayreon Says:

I think it works out well. Writing a good poem doesn't mean having to disguise every line to where you don't know what it means--it can also mean, like in your case, telling a story that has a lot of power to it. Thank you very much for sharing.

Sorry for the late comment, I've not been online for a while.

I absolutely love this though.
