SuperDave71 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 If I should fall, you won’t be here to pick me up For you left and took my heart If I have to crawl, I will find you and take back what I gave you For you don’t deserve such a gift If I should fall, I will be alright Though my chest is heavy, my self-worth carries me far If only for a moment I hang my head It’s merely to say a pray for you since I can’t hold you If I should fall, you won’t see me cry For I am a man, though weakened by my open wound The tears that fall are in your honor And I hope you know that I won’t stay down very long If I should fall, the love I have for you will be my shield Though you can’t see it, it is there and I thank God for the time we did share If you were to ever look back, I won’t be there When I was down, love carried me far away If I should fall, I will face my fears and stand I must find the courage to take back my love and give it to those that deserve it and choose to stay For underneath this broken man lies a lion I will rise above this and I look forward to the day that loves finds me again If I should fall, don’t cry for me You threw me away and walked silently out of my life Like the memories of our love, they will fade Just as I did from your heart If I should fall, you won’t know it The tracks in the sand may be long Because I crawled to protect what was left of me -SuperDave71 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeFallFeelin Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 No more than a year ago prose like this would have had no impact on me. But here today, these words ring as a true as a battle hymn written by my own war torn heart. Strong yet vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbirch Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hugs SuperDave, I felt that way too and now there are no more tears for him and I am happy again. There is somebody else now who I give my love to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterPo Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was never a fan of poetry, probably because I lack patience and mental imagery BUT two of your stanza's hit me solid. I think it's great and I think one of them is my new signature. I'll send you a royalty check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
