Love Poem: Broken

Broken

A benevolent action- perhaps out of character

But quite a beautiful caricature of intimacy!

Was taking me in, an act of generosity?
Or is throwing me out, your thoughts- (pure monstrosity!)
The depth of my thoughts based upon curiosity

You're the blood in my veins- the smell before rain
Is that why I'd endure so much pain?

Lay me down, build me up- what has fallen down as rain
has landed now as tears,
And what you'd built up as pain, has shedded from all fears

You built me up, as my bones were strong and sturdy
But then! You pushed me down, here I lay- so broken, and so dirty

Will you lift me again, and show me love that can be true
The only will inside of me, is the beautiful fact that I love you

Lay me down, and lay beside me. Watch the sunlight fade away
Just promise me we always will be, it's the only way that I will stay

You've taken me in, now hold me tight- and whisper to me every night
That my darling, you are here to stay, and everything will be alright

I cannot bear the pain alone- I cannot walk the walk back home
This knife that's pressed against my chest- 
Will be thrusted by the only one, that I'd given thee my heart to rest

Confused by the emotion of his soul devotion
Now I have a suicidal mind contemplation-

I ache to feel his touch again (A subtle temptation)
