Take My Hand

Dejected tears,
Freezing on my fingers.
Frozen heart,
Barely beating.

Broken and beaten,
Always the same.
Shrouded in sorrow,
You came to me.

Sealed lips;
Quivering.
Under the weight,
Of unknown sins.

Bruised by the tears,
Stabbed by the silence,
Don't just cry,
Talk to me.

Am I not worthy,
Of your decadent secrets?
Unravel it;
Cocoon of black silk.

Whispered valedictions,
A quiet departure.
Clawing my throat,
A raw scream.

No. Not again,
You're leaving me.
Why?
It's killing me.

Your eyes are,
Deceptively cold.
Pour out,
The warmth within.

Shoulders shook,
trembling in the rain
Melting the coldness,
In an embrace.

Take my hand,
I promise;
Eternal bonds.
Always beside you.

Hurt me,
Crush me,
I'll accept anything;
Everything.

Bleeding souls,
Broken ankles,
Tears and cries,
Even lies.

I ask of you none but one.
A desperate request;
Heed my plea.
Please, Stay with me.
