Pulse

Original Poem

I had one task: to guard you against hurt

It worked for a while, it worked

Now you’re bloody

I failed the one assignment given me

I look to you tearfully

The sorrow I feel at letting you down is profound

I will never forgive myself

To you I am always bound

Let me help you

Hold you

Carry and caress you

In all my life you have never let me down

My promise to you once more

Is to protect you, with my crown

You are my most amazing part

I will keep you safe My Heart

A sad, yet hopeful expression of guilt and promise.

NOTES: correction -- a colon is grammatically correct in this line: "I had one [task:] to guard you against hurt"

Thank you for the correction

You're welcome. But, remember, you're the poet. Any critiques or corrections from anyone are only ever suggestions. I hope you'll be equally honest and critical when you review my works.
