Broken, bruised and battered,
is this, what I have caused?
My love, it burns intensely,
I know I have my flaws.
I do not mean to hold you down,
or even back a bit,
the thought that I have hurt you,
it makes me feel like shit.
I feel so total broken,
Bruised and battered too,
Oh how, oh how, oh how, my love
will I, make it up to you?
I know the dragon has been slain,
My princess home and safe,
I pray OH LORD to keep the demons
far, far from this place.
Broken, bruised and battered,
I wish, I hope and pray,
all your hurt and all your pain,
be taken on this day.
Lady love, my only one,
We’re Broken, bruised and battered,
Can’t you see, through all of this
Our dream had almost shattered.
Our love, I swear
can be enough,
if through this all we focus,
You and me, hand in hand
Who could come before us?
I pledge to you undying love,
old, in rocking chairs
better or worse, healthy or sick
And love you even
for it.
smiles. i appreciate the desperation in your lines...when we hurt the one we love even inadvertantly it sits heavy...

ReplyDeleteThere's no better way to say sorry or I love you than through heartfelt words of poetry.
Well done!
The things we do for love. I enjoyed this free form poetry with so many emotions embraced. Great write, Ned.
ReplyDeleteNed - the part I loved the most was the admission of failing (how that can make or break a relationship. That pledge is sacred - glad there are second chances
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you and thanks for posting with One Shot
Ye even if we fail
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't have to be the final nail
Just take it in stride
Screw the pride
And one can prevail
Once again setting sail
