I can't be with you on another night
of hurt.
my eyes want to cry
but my heart
doesn't want to
feel.
I am lost,
lonely inside.
Scared,
Trapped
by my fears
as the past
holds me back.
I just wish you were here.
Why can't your eyes open?
I want to hear your voice
on the phone.
Please hear my calls.
I don't want to face this
alone.
I want your arms around me.
Your heart
comforting mine.
I want you to
save me
from this broken
night.
Please listen.
I can't scream any louder.
I want you holding me,
lying on top of my
body.
Protecting me from
the darkness
in my mind.
Please, can you hear me?
I want to be caged in
your world
where its safe
to feel.
I want to be
embraced
in your heart
where love is
real.
Can you feel me?
Do your eyes read my pain?
Will you answer my pleas
when you awaken
today…
Please do.
I don't want another night
without you.
not one like this,
don't give my
pain another night
of loneliness.
Can I have you tomorrow?
Can I have you forever?
Will you want me
even when I
can only feel sorrow
Will you love me
when I break
when I fall
when I'm not okay
Will you forgive me
for taking too long
for all of my fears
for the past
that is always here.
Will you listen
when I can't speak
Will you reach for me
when my heart bleeds
Will you forgive me
for this poem
as I write the words
' I'm sorry '
at the bottom.
Will you be here
if everything
Goes
Wrong.
Will you hold me
In that way
That keeps me
Safe.
If you can,
Will you be here
On the nights
Of hurt
Please forgive me.
Please listen to me.
Today, when you awaken
Read my heart in this poem.
And the apology
At the bottom…
And For all of these words
Spoken,
I am sorry.
I am sorry
For being
Broken.
