Safe and Sound

Author's note: This was inspired by E.E. Cummings' r-p-o-p-h-e-s-s-a-g-r  poem (which I saw on Mai's blog), but I am using the words from the song "Safe and Sound" by Taylor Swift off the Hunger Games soundtrack. I did use Cummings' style a little more modestly though, this just being a fun piece. These aren't my original words, so I can't really call this my own, but I had fun using this style, so tell me what you think!

I

Remember

Tears

Streaming

Down

Your

Face

{When I said I'll never let you go}

When  all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said

Don't leave me here 

¦Alone¦

      But all that's

dead and gone  and past>>>>>>>>tonight.

Just close your eyes.

The sun is going down.

You'll be alright.
