Broken Piece -

I feel your body
Pressed against mine
I’ll do anything
To numb this pain
I hold you close
A closeness that
Can not be made
I sterilize the blade
And thread the needle
I have to pick up the
Broken pieces
I think I’ve found a way
To put them back together
Don’t be afraid
To give me your hand
But, you know that
I’ll never let go
I sterilized the needle
And run it in and out
Making a perfect pattern
I make a stitch
I’m trying to save time
But who am I to say
What will save nine?
You give me your hand
Then you being to pull back
As I tighten my grip
You think I’m going to let you slip
But, if grace has given me
Anything at all
I know I will never let you fall
You are not strong enough
To make it through
That’s why I am now
And forever, going to be here for you
Don’t try and hurt me
Before I hurt you
I’ll never have enough anger
To purposefully mar you
I know how to give you
All of my love
Just please,
Listen to what they’re saying
From way up above
I know who you are
And I know how far you can fall
But, I will pull you through it all
Just, once again
Give me your hand
I’ll help you put your feet
On solid land
No more crystal waterfall
We’re back to the calm of the stream
This water trickles
Over the rocks
As I play your words
Incessantly in my head
You said you had no fear
You said there were no regrets
But, I just know
There’s some doubt
You said there was a future
You said you wouldn’t change the past
Don’t give up hope
I know you can outlast
My personal vow to you today
I will never be able to
Take this pain away
But, I will try my hardest
To numb them for at least today
I feel you body against mine
I know you’re alarmed
But, when you’re in my arms
I will keep you safe from all harm
I love you and
That will never change
Just please help me
Find yourself today
I have finished my pattern
The stitch is complete
Now your life is only one
Broken piece
