Worth to Keep

When every voice scolded you to the ground,

I was there to lift you away.

 

When all darkness robbed your light,

I was there to show you the way.

 

When every teardrop made an ocean,

I was there to throw you a line.

 

When all you loved slipped from your very hand,

I was there to make you mine.

 

When every doubt pierced through your skin,

I was there to be your shield.

 

When all your monsters came to life,

I was there to make them yield.

 

When every dream became a nightmare,

I was there to lull you to sleep.

 

When all those who ignored your value,

I saw something worth to keep.

 

2011 Vincent Cuccolo

Reviews

[MoriartyMesa]

This grabs the reader and brings them back into a romance that might have been or could have been, to transport them to another time.


Nice job

[Patrick]

This is a satisfying read, a couplet of much quality and each one a gem in their own right.
