Your World

Your World

A Story by Kathryn Smith

When she is lonely


You call her name


and she scuttles into your world


Your voice comforts her


Your words ease her


Your eyes touch her





When she is misunderstood


You fill her heart with joy


You make her understand


You remind her she is only human





When she is sad


You slowly wrap around her aching heart as a blanket


You hug her soul


You are sad with her


but you remind her to keep running


You cheer her up


Making her laugh with glee






When she is breaking


She slips into your world


Your world of bravery


Of courage


Of truth


Of reality


You sew her pieces back together


You and she are quite alike





When she is restless


You whisper to her


You cuddle her close


You lull her to sleep


She'll wake with a happy hopeful smile






Your world is her world


and in your world she will remain

Well written. There are no errors that I can see. All in all, this is an excellent poem. It flows smoothly without lines to interrupt the flow of words. The message that I get from this poem is that the worlds of the two people in a relationship are linked as one: whatever happens to one happens to the other, and both are there to comfort each other. Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem with me.
On another note, I was listening to "I Create" by Audiomachine, and it went well with the poem if it is read slowly. Give it a listen and see what you think.

Lines that really jumped out? "When she is sad...you are sad with her.." The care you administer to this unnamed friend (?) is so deep as to be classified as love; so it is love. Could it be you are talking about you taking care of your heart, because we all have to do that a LOT. The poem/story is a wonderful write. take care...dan

This person (whom I will refer to as 'the mender') sounds like a guardian angel of sorts yet there is no hint of them being supernatural. I felt the bond between the two but also felt it was a bit one-sided and worried for 'the mender' and their well-being.
I can definitely personally relate to this one Kathryn but I'm not going to divulge in which capacity. ;p

A heartwarming exposition of friendship.

I liked the journey in your words. Create people, place and need.
"Your world is her world
and in your world she will remain "
The words gentle and worthwhile led the reader to good ending and thoughts. I did like the above line.
Thank you for sharing your outstanding words and thoughts.

Beautiful piece of how love can touch two souls so deeply, as to complete each other.
Mending what nothing can, reviving the soul and bringing hope, love does that all.
Very eloquently penned piece.
Loved the imagery!
