Please wait a moment

#Please_wait_a_moment
Please don't rush to here where I stand, the flames still rages, I fear you might suffer  blisters,from fire you lit not, please don't ask why for I might respond with tears, these floors may flood, you need not be here to drown. Please wait, this door behind me still refuse to close, I need time and strength to pull it into its right hinges, so I can correctly turn towards your direction

Please don't trust me, I need to trust myself first , please don't love me, I need to learn again how to love myself first, please wait just this moment, I need to learn first how to wipe first my tears before I can wipe yours too, please I need to make sense of my own thoughts, my own emotions, my own feelings, for everything still rough and formless, it's a mess, you need not to witness, please wait

Please don't rush me, for I may trip a fall, and fail to stand up again, for my bones having fell more , please don't ask me too much questions for I may choke in answering some and start loosing my breath  and tears mixing amid, please allow me to breath, to sigh and most to heal, so my wounds won't be contagious to you, please wait, I plea 

Please walk slow towards where I stand, these rough patches around me, need a spade first to be cleared, so you be not prickled by thorns you planted not. Wait! just a moment, rush not to love me, it's all broken pieces , all bones and blood gathered on my chest, it's all still a fresh crime scene, please wait, I beg
