Ode of the Raven Heart

This is already one another site. It didn't really do well there so I thought I'd post it here instead.

Lying awake in bed
Listening to the whispers of the night
While your heart remains frozen

Dying a little inside
Giving yourself to the merciless light
This empty silence unbroken

Your pain buries itself so deep
Your restless soul unable to sleep in eternal peace.

Watching you writhe naked in the cold
I can't take this anymore
It tears me up inside piece by piece.

Turn away from this light
Come and seek refuge in my arms
I whisper into your ear
Hold back your tears
Know pain no more
I will drive away your darkest fears.
To protect you from sorrow till death do you part.
This is the ode engraved upon my raven heart.

This is most definitely one of hidden gems of this website. I absolutely loved the personification and atmosphere you used. The words really deliver the message of your poem in a powerful way, and the title of the poem most definitely makes it stand out among other poems. This is an example of why I like to read poetry so much! Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with the world! :)
