You

Can you listen for a spell

To what I have to say

I’ve been brought by some strong force

To talk to you today

Listen to my words

As they linger in the air

Hold my hand

Help me stand

Show you really care

You are the strength

That makes me weak

You are the silence

That helps me speak

You are my only desire

You are the fuel of my fire

You cause me pain

And yet I grow

You teach me things

You do not know

You’ve carried me

Yet we’ve hardly touched

You don’t know it

But you’ve helped so much

You’ve given me

The strength to go on

You give me faith

When all hope is gone

So listen to my words

As they linger in the air

You’ve held my hand, helped me stand

And shown you really care

This was the first poem that I ever had published.... Reading it now it seems very juvinile to be honest but I still remember the moment wrote and the feeling behind it.  I always say my poems are like my diary and reading back on them can be like reliving my past.
