Hush now
Don't you cry
See there
Those two little butterflies
How they dancs on the wind
Free of worry and pain
Not like moths
Who are drawn to the flame

So he hurt you
Broke your heart
Swore to you
You'd never part
Then turned his back
And just walked away
Forgetting all those promises
He carelessly made

I am here
I'll keep you warm
I'll keep you safe
Safe from harm
I won't be like him
And speak empty words in your ear
I'll only promise
I'll always be near

So fly on the wings
Of those butterflies
I'll dry every tear
Though thousands you may cry
And even though
What I offer's not much
I'll hold you close
You're safe now, hush.

Th.A.P.

I guess I would have to say that I wish I could do this for every girl that has ever been hurt by any guy. Dry all their tears and be the strength,security, and support they need. But I never will, as much as I wish I could. But to all of those girls, remember, there are good guys out there that will hold you when you need to be held, as a friend, nothing more.

"I'll hold you close. You're safe now,hush"

Thomas A. Plemmons



Let not a word go unspoken,
A thought go unheard,
Let not one heart be broken
Dream of a perfect world.

-Th.A.P.

Thomas~
What a wonderful poem. I too wish that you could take every tear from every girl's eye who has been hurt by a guy. I wish more than anything that you could take away all the tears from my eyes from my dad and Everything that has happened. I wish you could take away all the pain-filled nights of crying myself to sleep. So you see, when you say every girl who's ever been hurt buy a guy, I thank you for understanding and being such a great person. Please continue to post as much as possible, I truly do admire your work.  
Luv2LuvYa!
Love Always

Great poetry Thomas.. beautiful words.. and I can relate to your message very strongly.. It's so painful to see someone cry
Somehow their sorrow becomes mine
It's the hurt of seeing beauty die
I'll comfort until all is fine

if you don't mind, i do have a small point of critique however, on the structure that is. The first stanza has a few points of influency. I would enjoy it more when these were resolved.

Still, very sweet poem..

This is so amazing...I dont know where you get it from...You wrote this so beautiful...

So he hurt you
Broke your heart
Swore to you
You'd never part
Then turned his back
And just walked away
Forgetting all those promises
He carelessly made

Keep it up my friend...Btw that was a really good part...My favorite!!!

I like the feeling you put into this, it's awesome.   The ending of it just seems perfect:

And even though
What I offer's not much
I'll hold you close
You're safe now, hush.

This is great. There need to be more men around that feel like that. The sentiment was sweet.

Hey* This was absolutly wonderful. I think everygrl out there wishes that you could dry all our tears. you say for us to remember that there are good guys out there who will just hold us, but just because they're out there doesnt mean they are the easiest to find   Keep up the great work, and check your email!!
