Catch Me

Wrap me in your arms,
let me soak up the warmth.

Your shirt catches,
the tears coursing down.

Your quietness understands
the storm raging in me.

I seek strength,
but feel weak.

I scream into the night,
but the wind catches it.

Hold me now,
be my strength.
Let me scream.
Understand my soul.
Catch me as I fall.

Very nice. I know that feeling well.

That one individual that knows your souls so well, they know exactly where to stand when trying to catch you in a fall from the heights.

Who knows if I'm right or not. That is what I love about poetry. It trully is what the reader takes from it.
