Fly Away

A poem about watching someone you love struggle with worries

watch you fighting
I feel my love igniting
Your warm arms inviting

 

 

 

Unburden your heart, do not resist
My one deep wish
Is to support you through your anguish

 

 

 

You persist on protecting my heart
Your silent struggle begins to strain
And your distance forces us apart
Then you sense my pain

 

 

 

Your wings reach over me
Like an angel you shield me

 

 

 

Your halo severs from you
As your troubles whirl violently around you

 

 

 

They refuse to set you free
Though no one hears your plea
You refuse to cry out

 

 

 

You wait, confined;

 

 

 

A captivated eagle, desperate to fly away,
And from the sky you would survey,
Your actions day-by-day

 

 

 

You yearn to refresh your life
Avoid your mistakes
Recapture your successes
Evade all forms of strife

 

 

 

I cling to just one prayer
Don’t leave me in despair
Take me away with you
…
…
Because, I love you

I could do with a bit of help on the first stanza :-)

I enjoyed this.

It does need a bit of cleaning up, just to make everything sharp.

But overall, a good piece.
