Something In Me

You found me lying dead
Face down in the grass
Buried alive in my shame

For some strange reason
You saw something in me
Something worth saving

So layer by layer
Piece by piece
You uncovered me

Picked me up
Dusted me off
Gave me value

Now I was worth something
Something to you
Something to me

Your lips touched mine
Breathed life into my soul
Set me free

Because you saw something
Something in me

I like title,language use was expressive ,the rhythm fit The poem. I loved the theme very romantic and emotional. I thought the beginning was very dramatic, and the ending very tender. Love Lou xx

My wee Hobo

I agree with all of the above. To have such love and passion for who you share you life with is precious. Even with all your kidding around with some of your poems, which we absolutely love, you’re just a big softy at heart. And that’s why we love you.
