I want to crawl into your darkness
I want to be there beside you
Pounding away at the heart of your pain
Digging into the earth of your despair
I want to pound and dig until my flesh splits open
And my bones break
Until my hands are useless
And then I would continue to
Beat on your pain with the nubs of my wrists
And I would dig deeper still into your dirt and soil of depression
Going and going
Wearing out my skin and marrow
Up my arm to my elbow
There with you through the nightmares and angst
Screaming and crying until my throat bleeds
Dying with you again and again
I want to be there in the thick of your doubts and worries
Pounding and digging until my arms are gone
My shoulders worn and my ribs and collar bones exposed
And if we must keep going and going
Farther into your darkness
I would chew on the dirt
And kick and lunge
I would stay there by you until i had nothing left to give you
For what good would my arms be
If they could not hold you and keep you safe
What good would my legs be if not to walk by your side through your darkest days and loudest nightmares
What good are my hands if they cannot hold yours and keep them warm or give them comfort
What good is my head if my mind was not enouhh to help you through  the bad hurt days and nights and could not help you find a reason to smile
And without your smile what would I need of my eyes.
I would give up my all
Just to be there
With you
In the dark
Digging
And
Pounding
Away
Just to see you have a moment
Of peace
And
Happiness
