I was lying
in the pit of self-pity
I'd dug for myself
When you gave me
your hand
and guided me out
of
the pit
I was lying and not buried
because I had dug the pit
myself,
refused help
and there was no way I could cover myself with the
dirt
And
you came, you didn't
throw dirt, but flowers,
and you built the steps
I needed
to get out,
so desperately
You nursed my wounds and
wiped my tears
Told me I was
worth
attention, love, praise
And that
I should have never found that pit
And
when I
protested and
averted my eyes
You said,
"I love you for what you are"
You could say it was like a music box
or maybe
a windup toy
because
it just kept filling
up up up
But
then again maybe not
because your
love
for me never really
had a limit
did it
My dear?
And
now you're gone
and usually
I would write about
how much I miss you
but
you taught me to only focus
On
The positive things in life.
Didn't you
My dear?

PoetryThis is one of my favourite poems I've written, so please take a read. Maybe I love it so much because I came up with it after reading Ambrose by Bobbi Sykes, and this poem takes the same format. Here's a link to it: http://www.poetrylibrary.edu.au...
