Have you ever

peto

Have you ever felt raindrop race tears down your face

Got thrown out of a heart without leaving a trace 

Been convinced all you are's a complete waste of space 

Found yourself in a world of fright 

 

Have you ever been so low above lies the floor 

Self imploded from trying to stifle your roar 

Suffered all you could take then return for some more

Booked the flight when you knew you should fight

 

Have you ever been willing unable to dare

Suffocated by breathing in putrified air

Bought the cushion to match your electrified chair 

Plugged it in settling down for the night 

 

Have you ever been in the wrong place the wrong time 

When all reason is lost all that's left is the rhyme 

Dig yourself from the basement there's mountains to climb

Shake of feelings still tourniquet tight 

 

Would you ever allow me to take your sweet hand

To a place where the sun kisses toes in the sand 

Instantly you'd receive the respect you command 

On our first fated magical night

    A deep writing with a lot of questions yet well expressed )

    Yes Iโ€™ve felt low in self esteem before , and in a place of fear . And itโ€™s never nice , is it

    A good poem especially like the last few lines

      Mmmm so much, but to answer your questions, yes, to all of the above! However,
      I'll focus on the ending. "Would you ever allow me to take your sweet hand, to a place where the sun kisses toes in the sand, instantly you'd receive the respect you command, On our first fated magical night" -YES sir! Thank you!

          I know I say this a lot but this has got to be one of your best!! I still find myself "in a world full of fright". The last stanza is just the sweetest! I mean, WOW!
