Where I Belong
Hold me- guard me day and night from doubt that clouds my mind; Sense me- feel my world break down as love and lust collide- Know me- learn my weaknesses and shield them from all pain; Love me- trust my voice and song to fall on you as rain. I cannot speak I cannot fear Lest my mind senses What my heart now fears: That I have found my weakness, Oh, I have found my bane- Uncovered here for all to see Behind a stained-glass windowpane. That tinted glass surrounds my soul In a vain attempt to hide my wrongs Chaos reigning in a swirling world- It's where I know I truly belong. Love me- trust my voice and song to fall on you as rain; Know me- learn my weaknesses and shield them from all pain- Sense me- feel my world break down as love and lust collide; Hold me- guard me day and night from doubt that clouds my mind. |

| I like the parallel structure of the hold me, sense me, know me, love me, and the reverse order of it to. It's pleasing to the eye, although a bit too repeitive and I found myself skipping over it. Or maybe it's just the fact that I'm bitter or something. ;-) "I cannot speak I cannot fear Lest my mind senses What my heart now fears:" I find the repetition of 'fear' in lines 2 and 4 a bit unecessary...perhaps you can change it up a bit. Keep writing!!!
