Christan Cote Poet Free verse

I Will Follow You Into the Dark

"I wish you would just unclench your fists and let go of all your pain and hurt.
It doesn't help to keep it bottled up inside.
I can see it...
Eating away at you
Eating you from the inside
The pain and worry is sucking you dry.
Its taking everything into its black hole 
All that you have left is anger and worry
And pain
Your worriying is taking up all of your energy. 
'Stop it.
Stop yelling at me
You are hurting me 
I love you and I want you better.'
'Can't you see Christan?'"

"I wish that you would just leave me alone.
Let me wallow in my pain.
Let me sit here in the dark
You are so quick to help
When you are part of the problem
You make me angry
You make me mother you
I take care of you and watch over you 
I do everything for you mother.
Why can't you just let me go?"

"I can't" she said, facing the empty black hole where I was slanding.
"I will follow you into the dark"

She said as she stepped across the threshold of my mind
Entering this strange place
My dark bitter heart echoing around her.
"I will follow you into the dark." she said.
