Mercy and Grace

Broken down by you. Running from everyone and everything. Escape is only a step away. Caught by your screams. Can’t turn away from you. You won’t let me go. Holding on to me so tight I can’t breathe. Falling to my knees at your feet. Tears burn my eyes like fire. You’ve shown me mercy. Succumb to you. Raise me to my feet with your gentle hands. Holding me tight assure me that you won’t let go. Together we share the same blood. More alike than I know.
