Love


Here I am

Standing in the shadows awaiting your tender kiss

Longing for you to take my breath away

Hold me close to your skin so I can feel the warmth of your body

Caress me softly

Move your hand slowly up and down my arm as if brushing away all the tension

Caringly look into my eyes and wipe away the bits of hair that fell over them.

Hear you say that I am beautiful and that you could stare at me all day.

I am waiting, up against this wall

It is burning my back

The pain seeps into my heart and I feel my knees buckle

I start to fall to the ground

Holding my knees into my chest and fiercely crying

Crying out your name and weeping

Telling myself it will all be okay

I remember the night

The night your mother came to me and said you were gone.

Now he is floating with his angelic smile

While I am here holding onto this chest that is profusely bleeding

I am now here alone, but soon I willl be with you my dear.
