Please please love me!  Don't make me consider my thoughts and actions, I'm afraid of the dark
Use your mouth to silence mine, I hate the way I speak and I need to be needed
Every morning is harder to rise, the sun mocks me with its easy eastern comings
I sorry I'm not taller or stronger or more whatever "er" you want

For every good intention there is 1000 evil uses
And for every evil use there is 10000 dead bodies there is no art in those corpses and there is no art in yours
They do not tell you about the cold ice that will devour your skin
The wails of my mother stay my hand, she is silent but it's all I hear
I don't need you here, I will take what's offered I know the deal
Let's seal it it with a kiss I can be your lateness swing and miss
You will always have your bliss, it's good to know my uses
I'm tired of your truces, lies that don't last a week, i prefer your abuses, at least that way I have some sympathy to eat

Use me till I run out of words, I have nothing else to offer
I'm three steps away from daily motivation
There is a peace in knowing your worth, sleep to the freezing
We both know the moment that you got what you wanted, I haven't felt your need on my leg in weeks

I was raised with a king, a grey moon on a black sky was his standard and his proud kingdom was 4 houses
He went alone and proud into the dark
I met a wild dark storm, a killer with a soft spot, magic in his eyes, courage in his teeth.  He is still in the woods, he belongs with the trees
His mother has a quiet dignity, she spends are days in timid quiet repose, yielding food to her wild son and giving love softly
I held spun gold, eyes the color of the sun on water.  A lover who expected nothing, fierce but kind, always ready for a new friend.  
Death cheated and snuck up on you when you were young and asleep
My year and a half year old cat died and all I have been able to think about him and my other cats

My body is roiling and boiling and I'm spoiling for a fight
My hands shake with a grief locked in future, please suture the cuts the blood is a flood and all I see is red
Lay me down to bed, and lower me back to the earth let a there be birth from my bones
Rhyming!!

Too trusting by half, seeing good in those who don't wish to give any light back
Seeing reflections in cold brick walls, sure that everyone cares for someone
Confused by the lack of empathy, choices made for the self baffle, doesn't everyone else check the mirror last?  
Doesn't everyone consider each step? The floor isn't covered with lava, it's covered with hearts, please watch your step
As the knife goes in and the blood pours out, I assume they stumbled

If I stay I'm a disappoint and of I go I'm selfish
I have spent my time being selfless but I'm not allowed to breath
You see my freedom as your loss, my breathing as stealing air you might have taken in
