Strong As Stone

She sleeps so uneasy

She’s lost her innocence

I reach out my hand to touch her

Her body is so tense

 

She starts and then wakes up

Her eyes are wide with fear

“Shh, baby, it’s just me,” I say,

“You’re safe and I am here.”

 

“What are you doing in my room?”

I can see she’s still upset

I have reminded her of things

That she’d rather forget

 

“You know I’d never hurt you.

You know you’re safe with me.

I’ll always protect you

From whatever it may be.”

 

I feel her relaxing

She looks up solemnly

“I know that I’m safe here.

I know you’ll protect me.

 

“I’ve been hurt and hurt again

I’ve been betrayed and used

But now my life is changing

And all this thanks to you.”

[Initium]

Well, the poem overall kind of lost me with the rhyming. (Weird, but I'll explain.)
Sometimes, it seems to me, at least, you don't need to rhyme.
Hell, I suck at rhyming. :)
But this was still a good poem, and I really liked the 4th stanza more than the rest. I just like the whole message of it.
Thanks for writing.
