POEM

[cajunnblue]

red streams down the old scars
tears fall softly from pain filled eyes
unable to hide anger and fear
hidden hopelessness consumes your mind
i feel it all in your voice
fear becomes me
the need of you in my arms becomes unbearable
slipping into the darkness
fighting to answer your call of pain
disbelieving eyes look deep in mine
confusion and relief on the surface hang
while fear lies beneath
anger is expected but is impossible
all that can come from these lips is love
my need is satisfied
you body leans on mine finding comfort
promises that no new scars will arise
on the delicate skin
sound from you lips
but i fear tomorrow
