UNDER MY COVER
Under the cover of dark
we may blunder
unsupervised souls
spoiling deaths wonder
Beneath
under cover
recover thy lover
of another, another
you’re other, the other
And stay with me here
Adhere, my dear
I hear every tear
every fear
stay near
Your loneliness stranded, punished by pains
is where darkness reins upon deathly remains
a plight bound and born, always ready to spawn
Undercover you mourn, recover, re spawn
Caught beneath breath
I will catch your death
and within womb
I will witness
your tomb
before doom.
Within this empty room...
you are under my cover
to heal and resume
Right here,
you can create the creature...
that saves a life,
for you are the teacher
of an entitled entity, stricken with strife. Â
Be the preacher that saves your very own life
For a role in that race, would feature your face
as you flatten the flaws, once ironed in place
depleting the pleats, retraced and erased
under my covers, recover your space

Dear Poetess Carey Milton,
A suicide verse of pain, my vote 5*
Regards & Love
Willy
"And stay with me here
Adhere, my dear
I hear every tear
every fear
stay near"
For me this stands out. In the poem you could take it as meaning more than one thing. For me it  humanises depression. Always with you , hearing, feeling, knowing your pain, fears. It is always near as we hide and hold it and adhere to it. It is our personal dear that sometimes saves or pushes us over the edge.Â
I could be wrong in my interpretation, but that is what grabbed me and the impression it fostered in my mind. I liked this very much and it deserves a vote. I love poems for the expression it allows us and I believe a little piece of ourselves locks itself in the poem, give life to the words on the paper. I think I will enjoy reading your works...no, I will enjoy it.

My apologies for a late reply to your comment, always much appreciated!
In the back of my mind I had suicide as the concept and reaching out to someone with depression.
I am glad you read this piece in a way to be able to give it such profound feedback. I believe the ideas and visuals the reader creates from the story are never invalid and what you describe above only adds character to the tale.  Thanks for your inspirational words. :)
