Whispers In the Dark
I know you may not see it
but even if you never do,
I still want to tell you
that if everyone else
has abandoned you
I never will.
Friend, you are the words I whisper
in the dark,
your name stretched across my heart,
tearing my soul apart.
I would take a bullet for you,
take away all the pain from you,
watch my scars open and bleed,
my hands spread like the heavens
to catch you
if it would save you,
heal you.
You
are so very close to my everything.
The world itself would seem void
and bare
if you were not there.
Surely, there is no life beyond you
and no happiness that should appear
if you were not near.
My mind traces it's circles around you.
My hands grasp
for something not there.
I'm restless. I need to see you.
Need to hear your voice,
view your face
because my mind can't erase you.
You're my weakness,
my Achilles heel
because you felt so real
like a dream that had not yet faded.
I'm afraid to say that
I think you're gone
and I wonder if I've ruined everything
in my life by hurting you.
My head is reeling
as I find my way through the pain,
black as night,
a dark silhouette veiling the light
drenched in rain.
Friend, I would die for you
and even though I would never
want you to do the same
I wish you would want to
because I wish
I were loved the same way.
