Mend My Soul

A Poem by Alicia Hirshey

~*~*~*~
Intrusting you
Spirit in soul
You see me through
Laughter like gold
Grab me up
Brace me for the fall
Words like magic
Enchant us all
~*~
Horrible deeds
You can’t replace
Endless suffering
Have taken loves place
Finding no other
As perfect as you
Devine intervention
Certainly due
~*~
Fairytale forests
In my dreams love to taunt
Leaving me guarded
Holding on the spot
Frozen with fear
Not sure what to do
Hopelessly falling
Into you
~*~
Mend my soul
You have once shattered
Stitch with love
The pieces matter
Hold me closer
Than any human being
Spending nights
Alone with me
~*~
Typical longing
Human desire
Giving it up
Faith doesn’t matter
Trust me once
I left you for dead
Trust me again
I’ll help you hold up your head
~*~
Mistakes replaced
Memories overtake
Not certain my place
Keeping my heart
Close to your own
Stitch me up, baby
We are calling this home
~*~
Teenage tyrant
Adulthood dread
You’ve done something
I will leave unsaid
We are growing up stronger
It takes all of me
Loving you is easy
Trusting can be free
~*~
Once shattered
Always alone
You came in
Saved my soul
Protect me from danger
Even your own
Love me, darling
Fear has left me cold
~*~
Mend my soul
You have once shattered
Stitch with love
The pieces matter
Hold me closer
Than any human being
Spending nights
Alone with me
