You Hold The Result
You hold the result
- A.Richardson
My heart was held so very high
And then I watched it fall;
One day was like a lullaby
The next, I felt so small.
Words like daggers penetrate
And to the pavement I did crash;
Felt like all I received was hate -
I’m trying to resurrect from the ash.
Pieces of my immortality
Scattered along the ground;
Away from the one who completed me?
No longer was I bound.
Dismantled but we’re mending
And I’m trying to come back through…
Just promise you’re not pretending
And you’re giving me truth in you.
You hold my heart with your “everything”
I am yours regardless if I’m battered or bruised:
My devotion is more than dangling on string,
I’m sorry if I appear confused…
For a moment you dropped my heart
And it hurt while you stumbled to retrieve,
At the clumsy display I fell apart
And wanted to crawl away with my leave;
Patience is all I ask
If I am truly what you want…
Keep off your mask
And let your true emotions flaunt.
If I am as precious as you proclaim
Then let time go in its pace…
Give me moments to divert from this frame
And soon the smile will show on my face.
