I Need A Haven


With a shading hand, pain lowers my head.
My heart beats around so many memories
that these eyes loose their clear salty pain
once again when I'm alone.
Kneeling here,
I caress my skin on the edge.
My life always hanging in the balance.
With lowered eyes I seek
the smooth feel of
it's beauty once more.
I thought I was fine,
I'm not.
I thought I had places for everything.
I must be full.
I just can't,
I just can't stuff anything more inside.
No more hate, no more despair, no more guilt.
The seams that hold me together are tearing loose.
Day after day,
I bleed the past with every step.
Night after night,
terrible things drip from me.
I leave a dark trail for all to see.
My life weighs to much.
Everything feels so thick and slow.
My past just overwhelms me
and steals my soul like a clever thief.
I need a savior to come and cover me
because I am afraid of myself.
I need a healing rain
to raise my face to and cleanse my wounds.
I need one forgiving person
to reach down and touch me,
to hold me , to lift me
from my demons who torment my life so.
I need a angel
I need a haven.
