And I Am Left Alone in the Dark

Keep me safe. Keep me strong. Just keep me alive.

And now, I am left alone in the dark

With three billion pieces if shrapnel in my heavy heart.

I cry silently

As I write poetry

To keep my fingers and hands busy

I never want to awake from this bed

Just your lips on my heavy head

As my shining crimson dulls

You make me feel less like an empty hull

Like a caccoon

I hold like that could easily be snuffed out by you

I am a caccoon

My heart is a butterfly that has yet to bloom

But my shell is ugly and keeps me from being hurt

It is my pedestal that keeps me away from the dirt

But you, you are my lover

And the trust I give you is the height in which my heart hovers

And I am afraid of falling yet I give you infanant trust

And I stay awake until 2-3-4 in the morning praying it's more than lust

But you give flight to my stone airplane heart

The very second before our lips part

And as I sit at the creek bed

I hope your shoulder will support my spinning head

But as I lean to kiss you I remember you're not there

That you're two hours away and cannot stroke my black hair

But I still know you keep the monsters away

And if you could you'd keep my tears at bay

And when I'm lost you'll be my north star

Leading me home to kiss my battle scars

I know you'd melt every razor if you could

Use them all to craft a faux woods

So we can play hide and seek

And when I found you or you found me

Your arms would lift my spirits and your sweet kiss would cover my tear stained cheek
