Don't Worry, Isabelle

Don't Worry, Isabelle

A Poem by Caution In Flames
"

Let's just say I cried while writing this. Please, please, please read this. Please.

"
Walls as thin as veneer
within these hollows I am here
shades of gray coat the sky
stars reorganized
ivory skin once
now black and blue
I take your fingers
and show you through

please don't cry,
He hurts you not longer
he's just a shrill memory
a cold, vacant haunter. 
He comes not for your blood
but for your inner life
Don't let him disrupt you, 
and fill your days with strife

my dearest,
these scars will fade.
No, I know the memories won't,
but keep up the facade

no, honey, stay here
you may feel homesick
just give me your hand
and I'll hold it. 

I know it's a hard thing to live through
yes, it's okay to cry. 
he won't come for you again. 
I'll stay by your side.
Don't worry, Isabelle
I'll fight him off.
I swear these nightmares
will someday stop

please don't cry,
He hurts you not longer
he's just a shrill memory
a cold, vacant haunter. 
He comes not for your blood
but for your inner life
Don't let him disrupt you, 
and fill your days with strife

Brilliant, that first stanza is amazing, the ability to put feelings into words is harder then most people credit, but you 100% did it. This poem came across as simple but a half an hour later and I'm still re-reading/thinking about it. just. plain. brilliant.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! Really, thank you!
a simple sweet sentiment, perhaps this message shall be heard, not simply blown with the wind.

Very good flow... Feels really emotional... like old, hardened emotions, fighting their way out... the way its written definitely displays the emotions behind this... :/ I wish I could say something else... but nice write.
