Of Pain and of Friendship

Kill me if you will, Tear me apart,
Rip open the cords,
That hold closed my heart.
Grab my love by fistfuls,
Take away its air,
Drown me in the river,
If you must then it is fair. 
Stab me, twist the knife please,
Choke me, make me bleed.
You can hurt me,
You can scare me,
But I can't go away.
She broke your heart,
Ripped you apart,
But I love you anyway. 
And all the memories,
Of dancing in the dark,
Hold me enraptured in my dreams.
I will live in the past,
It's my reward - its my punishment,
For leaving you with these feelings.
For not being enough,
For loving you,
This is what I deserve. 
But as long as I can help you,
As long as I can help you heal,
Im in for the long haul,
Even if you cant feel.

JAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey stranger! =D This poem was riveting, yet stinging at the same time. The only way to really have a future is to truly unwrap the present, that was tied down from the past. Intense lines.
