Confessions (Of A Delirious Mind)

I have shattered my own dark skies,
I've ruined this deceptive hour-glass
That someone would call "precious life".
And I've held a candle to it.
But how could have I,
Since this life is no longer just mine?
Did I hurt you, love, when I ruined
Something you held in your hands,
In your gentle hands...
So tight...
If I did, please, forgive me this time,
You know it hurts me
Twice as much.
Twice.

And now you see me walking blindfold.
So will you let me reach the edge?
Will you let me fall,
Just watching it... with your eyes closed.
I can't be broken, you suppose,
If I have never been whole.
Don't you?

...I'm writing this - my hand is trembling,
Each line is blurred, just like my mind.
I need you here with me tonight.
So desperately...
So hold me, even if not for real.
Just think of me - I'll feel your arms
Around me. Here. Don't ever say
That it's impossible. Don't limit
The dream. It's possible today.
But only if you wish...
And only if you stay...

Captivated by your writing.  I think you should write a book with a beginning, middle, and ending to this story.  You are very talented.  Very well written.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
