Keep Me

Gently...I feel my tears fall from my eyes
and crash onto the ground
Gently...I hear my bones break as I stumble to my bed

I've grown ill from all the lies
I've become deaf to all the wretched sound
I've grown weary from all the ghostly mumbles
I've become numb to all the lost dead

Gently...I taste the blood on my tongue
seeping out from my bruised lips
Gently...I smell the wood burning,
the smoke taking my prison away

They pushed the last breaths out of each lung
They made their way all over my skin with their finger tips
They pushed themselves onto me with their yearning
They made good use of me and left me to my decay

Gently...I wait to see my beloved angel come back to this demon-filled dome
To keep me safe....to keep me sane...to keep... me

Gently...I wait to die
Gently...I breathe my last breath
Gently...I let myself cry....knowing fire will be the last thing my worn eyes will ever see

Gently...He comes to take me away from death
To keep me safe from the monsters....To keep me sane from the nightmares...To keep... me

[Last Lying Look]

This was another intriguing piece.
I'd have to say my favorite parts were:
"I've grown ill from all the lies
I've become deaf to all the wretched sound
I've grown weary from all the ghostly mumbles
I've become numb to all the lost dead

Gently...I taste the blood on my tongue
seeping out from my bruised lips
Gently...I smell the wood burning,
the smoke taking my prison away"

Amazing poem.
