Save Me

Hold me in your arms, don’t let go,
Squeeze me tight enough to let it show

How much you need me and want me.
Trap me in your paradise, eternally.

I feel the cold world, burned by ice,
And your warm love feels oh so nice.

Growing steadily unstable, I need you more,
You’re all that keeps me grounded at my core.

Smother me in your sweet embrace,
With your kiss, take the breath from my face.

Drown in my tears as my heart learns to tick,
Nurse me back to health, my brain is sick.

Take a moment to show me how much you care,
Revitalize the way I breathe in the air,

Teach me how to feel more than numbness again,
Heal the blemishes not visible on my skin.

You are the essence of my vitality,
Without you, I’d suffer a tragic fatality.

You are my passion, my hopes and my dreams,
You are what quiets my troubled screams.

Please, wrap me in an infinite hug, I implore,
I’ve fought too hard, I’m exhausted on the floor.

I can’t fight any more, I’m torn and bleeding.
I need you to take over, my heart’s barely beating.

Love me, protect me, keep me near.
I want to hide inside you, where there is no fear.

I am the enemy who beats me down,
But you’re the hero who wears victory’s crown…

Written with my hubby in mind, but could also describe how I feel about God. This poem describes some of my deepest emotions.
