Entwine

I fall from the place I held above,

Reaching, grasping for your love

I wish you’d notice, but you do not see

That my heart beats faster for only thee

 

The ground below is hard and cold

And like an introvert, I begin to fold

I wish you’d come and hold me near

For you, I’d wait forever dear

 

You nonchalantly walk past my body

Chasing another, one much more gaudy

I wish you’d see my brokenness

And realize she isn't worth all of this

 

Your gaze drops as she moves on quick

Your eyes ignite like a candle wick

I wish I could go and comfort you

But it’s my love, you see right through

 

We tear out our hearts in unison

I watch mine bleed like some bad sin

I wish you’d come and rescue me

Your adoration would be the perfect key

 

Our corpses are nothing but earth now,

And I find it amazing exactly how

The blood from our very souls entwine

Oh, how I wish I could call you mine.

From my interpretation; it could have two entirely different meanings. One, most likely, would be that you are speaking of a lover lost whom you want back. Second, more of a introspective way of thinking, you could be speaking to a god and crying out for attention to him, her, or whomever (or whatever) you may be worshiping. Well done.

This was amazing, I can relate to this poem which makes me like it more.
