Please
Please
Please
Do not escape from me
Don’t leave me here
Alone
While I wallow in my own
Misery
Rattle the bars of this cage
That used to be a castle
Yes, I know I sometimes spit
Poison from my tongue
I know I sometimes kick
Sand into your eyes
But I see you
The beauty radiating from deep inside
And you see me
And love these wounds I try to hide
I may push you away
But I pray
That you stay
For this resistance
This fear
Is evidence
If the deep love
We hold here
The deep connection
Vulnerability
Evidence of just how much
You mean to me
And though I wish I was an island
With no dependence, no needs
The truth is I am human
Thirsty for connection
Understanding
Love
Cracks form in my hardened heart
The seed
Of need
Sprouts
Under the constant nourishment
Of your sun
Though I want to run
Away from this feeling
Exploding the container
That holds my small self
I will never try to escape you
No matter what
You say
Or do
