Take My Hand

 The computer screen flickers as he blinks away tears,he swallows a lump, attempting to suffocate his fears.He can’t get passed them as visions flash in his mind,succeeding in keeping him bound and confined.  
Silently he screams, writhing in pain,
it’s a constant battle just to stay sane.
He claws and rips, trying to escape.
he can’t get away from this demonic rape. Someone walks in and he smiles a greeting,they are completely blind to his inner pleading.With his mask in place, his costume appears,carefully hiding his invisible tears. Nobody can save him, this hell is his doom;He concedes to this fate, again alone in his room.But you can be saved, just reach out your hand;I won’t push you away, please understand. I love you so much, and if you let me I’ll help.I can’t claim to know all the pain that you’ve felt.But I promise not to be blind to the tears that you’ve bled,and, if I can, I’ll hold you as you cry on your bed.I’ll wipe away your tears and comfort your woes;I’ll never shatter this Crystal rose. So take my hand, and end this fight.It’s senseless to battle with all of your might.Let me in and I’ll always be your friend,I’ll love you forever, till the very end.

This ...

is absolutely breathtaking,So very heartfelt, needing to be let in ,needing to be the protector,the sheild from their pain...[sighs]beautiful... Where power corrupts,poetry cleanses.

Welcome back, Tae

So nice to see you back and still writing great stuff. This is a beautiful plea to a friend to accept the gift of friendship, to let down their guard. Loved it...Glad you're back! (don't even try to 'center your work) it doesn't work right. I justify everytyhing to the left now too. Tom
