for you.

for you.

i love you, precious boy.
am i the only one who sees the gleam
beneath this tarnished barricade?
everything so jagged, scarring.
growls and snarls to keep people out.
i want to climb the wall, instead
brave soldier-girl.
they think i'm a fool.
here i am, here i am, alone...
piece by piece, until my hands are split.
and i will find you
behind it all.
i am not afraid
don't be, don't be, and don't hide,
don't hide- not from me.
i'm your heart, i'm your blood.
i offer it in wide open hands.
i offer everything i have,
behind these walls
where no one else can see.
it's safe.
take everything from me.
you have my heart,
stolen as swiftly as that first kiss.
all i ask is your love in return- to warm your heart
in my torn hands.
beat for me, beat for me alone,
and i will not betray you.
surely you know by now,
i am yours, forever.
and nothing could keep me
from the music of your voice,
the comfort resounding
under your ribs
you and i
alone, perhaps,
in a sea of broken glass,
behind jagged grey walls.
so long as you have my hand,
i don't mind the solitude.
