If Ever I Fall

 

 

If ever I fall will you catch me

And sing me a sweet lullaby?

To stitch up my heart when it's broken

For I've never been good at goodbyes

 

Would you weave me a story of wonder

To light up my mind when it's cold?

And chase all the darkness & thunder

From the emptiness of my soul?

 

If ever I fall

 

Would you pick me up in your arms

And take me back home?

 

If ever I fall, will you leave me a trail

So if I get lost I could follow?

Where every small step brings me closer to you 

And my heart wouldn't feel so hollow

 

Would you give me your breath

If I gave up on mine?

Would our hearts & our souls

and our lungs intertwine?

 

If ever I fall

              fall

                fall     

Would you pick me up in your arms

And take me back home?

 

And would time itself

Be our enemy or friend?

Would we laugh or cry

Right up to the end?

Would our dreams be lost

Or our hopes fade away?

Would the dusk be the end

Or the dawn, a new day?

Would you hold me forever

Or is forever too long?

Would you fade into twilight

And forever be gone?

 

If Ever I Fall...

 

Would you pick me up in your arms

And take me back home?

 

 

Loveobsession?

John, after reading your last poem about Gert's er, ... ahem....I think this is the least of the things you ' really shouldn't' do 🤣🤣
And, yes I sang it to the wife trying to recreate that scene, but she just said: bugger off ye stupid sod. No sense of romance 😉

I really shouldn't, I know; this poem deserves far more than this. But I couldn't help seeing that scene in Gavin and Stacey where Pete and Dawn sing Time After Time by Cindy Lauper to each other.

Hi Stephen, this poem reminds me of a Billy Idol song called
' Catch my fall ' brilliant song and a brilliant poem as well.

Rich in emotion and strikingly beautiful. Written from a heart to a heart both entwined and needful of the other. Such a poem takes the reader into a different realm, into an emotionally charged relationship where any one of us could find ourselves.
Stephen you have excelled yourself with this poem
Thank you
Keith
