You've got me in
   the palm of your hand
There to cradle...
   ...or to crush.

I have no will
   where you are
      no strength
         no sense

Every breath I take
   tastes of you
Every thought I think
   is painted with you

You're there
   in every moment
   in every word
   in every need

You've overwhelmed me
and you don't even know it.

I can sense the smoldering passion in your emotive and impassioned words.

hmm..hauntingly familiar...(Perhaps we are "soul sisters"...lol)

I too, had this to say; posted 08-09-2000:

YOU HOLD ME

You possess the very soul of me...
Do you know
You hold me in the palm of your hand?
You have the power
to crush me,
or to cradle me--
To warm me,
or to leave me cold...
You dwell within my waking thoughts.
You frequent my dreams--
My dreams...
I want to see you there.
Will you meet me when i close my eyes?
Somewhere in the misty corners
will you lurk
To ensnare me as i stumble past--
To hold me as you whisper,
"shhh, Dont speak..."
Not now--
the words will wake the moment.
Dont speak.
Dont answer.
Just meet me in the shadows
To take my body as well as my soul--
Or gently please
return my soul to me...
You hold me
in the
palm
of
your
hand...

A very nice read.
"You've got me in
   the palm of your hand
There to cradle...
   ...or to crush."

So true.

How is it that after your heart is ripped out, you feel so much?
