Tonight as I lay in bed
Covered in a blanket, resting my head.
Kiss me,
Hug me,
Tell me you love me,
Tomorrow isn't promised, and today was a test.
Today as I go to school,
As we part ways,
I'll follow the rules
You'll follow what your boss says.
Reassure me,
Protect me,
Tell me I matter.
I may not make it home,
Or you'll be left to roam.
As I look outside at night.
Guard me,
Embrace me,
Because I may not be safe.
Even as the sun shines,
Even as grass grows,
I may not make it until dawn.
Now as I write this poem,
I'm not alone,
But I'm still afraid.
I'm scared of being killed.
Even if it's not by an intruder,
It could be someone I know.
Hug
Kiss
Reassure
Protect
Guard
Embrace me
Because tomorrow is not promised,
And today could be my last.

Poetry from my heart
PoetryI just need a place for my poetry so it doesn't get lost. It can be about almost anything, and they'll probably be only mine but I'll say if it's not.
