Do not hurt me
This is not a game
I gave you something
That can be hard to tame.
I gave you my heart
In blind faith that maybe
All I needed was your love
To come along and save me.
I trust it in your hands
And I hope you do not squeeze
Just cradle it gently
And put my soul at ease.
Give me a kiss
And look me in the eye
As you tell me you love me
And you’ll never say goodbye.

It’s hard to say
Whether you’ll be okay,
Or if you’ll be crushed
While your heart collects dust.
You can’t really know
When the pain will go.
Perhaps it will stay
Each and every day,
And try as you might
You’ll never feel right.
You’ll reach for thin air,
Enhancing the tear
That’s deep in your chest
Though you hide it with all your best.
The indefinite is what’s worst,
As it’s what truly hurts.
And so it’s very hard to say
Whether you’ll be okay.

**Let me go gently
Drifting over seas.
Swaying over open fields
Catching in the breeze.
Don’t hold me in defiance;
I cannot be caught down here.
I am too young to die
The thought is wrapping me in fear.
There is so much to live for,
And I have only just begun.
I wish for someone to join me,
And I think you’re the one.**

*Your fingers are like twigs
So delicate and frail.
I fear they may snap
If I grasp your hand too hard.
Your lips are like pink petals
That may tear if I kiss too roughly.
Your eyes resonate a sorrow,
Deep pools that are ready to overflow.
I cannot look too long,
For fear I may cause them to well up
And release more pain than necessary.
Your breath is like a whisper
Trying to call out in the dark.
My clouded senses cannot hear you,
Your calls are too faint.
But your voice is pure
And full of good intentions.
I fear I may destroy these intentions
With my muddled mind
That works in deep waves
Crashing over you.
You are precious
And fragile.
I fear I will break your tender soul
Into small pieces that will drift away with the wind.
But I am also certain
That your sweet fragility
Will ease my hard demeanor
And cradle my rugged body
Until I can hold your hand
Without snapping the twigs.*

There was a glowing, a burning
Coming from your chest.
At first I worried you were dying
But then I realized at last
That you were coming to life,
Your cavity filling with love.
The burn was passion
Growing large
It encased your soul and being.
Your eyes had gone from empty
To brimming with a new understanding.
You could see the world
And what it could give
If you opened your arms wide enough.
Even in your smile
Was a new warmth emanating your calling
To give love
And feel the reverberations of life
That pulsed in your veins
And beat against my skin as you held me close.

**You want so desperately for someone to find you,
But you are too good at hiding.
You wear a mask so closely to your skin
That it cannot be removed without peeling some off.
Your falsity is poisonous.
It stretches out in wisps of black smoke,
Reaching at those who go by
In the hopes that someone will take notice
And give you what you want.
But you have yet to realize,
Hiding behind false flesh and deceitful dimples
Will not gain you the sanctity you seek in others.
Your lurking in shadows
Will only cast away those who walk by,
For the purest of hearts
Do not dance among the presence of apathetic souls.
So you will continue hiding in the shadows,
Hoping someone will bring awareness to your true being,
While you slowly pick at your false flesh
Piece by piece.**

With my eyes wide shut
I will take the plunge.
Not knowing where I will land,
I will lift off the ground
And fall freely into the uncertain.
I will show no fear
And hesitate not
As I glide down, down,
Feeling a rush of emotion soar around me
I will call out to the ground
Hoping for a soft landing.
But since it is not known
What will happen when I stop falling,
I brace myself for the worst,
While wishing for the best.

I never expected for this to happen.
For your charming smile and sweet little lips
To grab ahold of my pounding heart
And make me wish I could remain in your grasp forever.
You did not have to do much,
Just look at me and smile
And I was sold.
Your allure was like nothing before,
You were magnetic
And it was inevitable that I could not keep away for long.
After waiting and waiting for a chance to know
Just what it would be like,
And what was there
I finally tasted the sweet peace of us.
I relished your touch
And counted every second we had
As if it were the only reason to keep awake.
You tempted me for so long,
And after the waiting
There was no way to turn back.
But of course,
The moment of finally tasting this sweetness
Had to be taken away.
And irrevocably
I will not forget it.
I cannot forget
The simple sweetness
Of that moment
We finally embraced the peace of us.

I’ve got a ribcage of sprigs,
A mind full of snow.
I really have no clue,
Where I will go.
I’m not lost,
But not certain
What path I’m on.
It seems that all clarity
Has up, left & gone.
My mind is in a dizzy;
I’m spinning at top speed.
There is something I must fulfill,
Some sort of need.
The empty path is open,
All the choice is mine.
There is nothing definite
About what I will find.
Maybe I will see
All that has haunted me,
Or maybe I will walk
On for centuries.
There is something I must do,
There is something in sight.
But I’m being held back,
Although I struggle with all my might.
The hauntings pull at my feet,
A heavy, dying weight.
I try to free myself
And banish this hot hate.
For hate will not help me,
In reaching where I will go
Because all I have to lead me,
Is my mind full of snow.

You continue making these appearances in my dreams,
And it hurts so incredibly.
I am constantly reminded of how much I adored you,
Of how lovely your smile was,
And how much fun we had.
I awake in sadness,
Because I know that those things are not mine to call anymore.
These dreams are like little knives,
That inch their way closer to my heart,
Threatening to burst it.
I could try to fool myself and say that seeing you
In these dreams
Does not affect me,
But every time I wake,
My heart seems to struggle keeping a beat,
And my mind is masked in a fog of misery.
There is no way to vanquish you from my dreams,
So there you will stay,
Taunting me with my past,
Our past,
Reminding me that I can’t let you go.
