Hush
Close your eyes
Crawl into bed with me
& I promise to fix all that wounds you
You don't have to face this world alone
I'll hold your hand
& We'll see the sun
So don't let nightmares of your mind plague you
My heart's with you, always
I'll still be here when the morning comes
I'm not going anywhere.

I wrote this about my boyfriend Zachary. Being in a long distance relationship is hard, however, I always felt as if he was right there next to me. Always in bed with me at night while we talked on the phone.

That's a sweet writing it's really romantic considering a lot of people do hit and runs it's nice great job.

I disagree about the diction. However the word choice she has is perfect from the sweetness. It is a lovely poem. = )

This was sweet, short, and your vocabulary is above average.
