Random Acts of Poetry: Come and See

Come and see
I have something to show you
It is very unlike me to share
but I can't hold this anymore
I cant keep this anymore
I have to unload
I have to unload
I have to give this to someone else
Someone stronger than me
Cant you see my back breaking?
Please come see my curve
The curve of my spine that bends under the weight of this thing that rests on my back
that wont let me rest
that gnaws at me when I close my eyes
Come
Take
My
Load
Come and see
The pain
Oh, the pain
that I cant describe, but I feel all day long
can you hear the song that plays in my head
Come and see my lyrics
See the lyrics of my soul
Shhh, listen:
My soul wants you to hear her
Come and see
and Rest a spell
The dark is closing in on me
It hurts
It hurts
It hurts
and I am afraid
from every corner, from every place
its coming for me
The dark is coming for me
Its coming for me
and I cant get away from it with this load on my back
take my burden please
Take it from me
Just for a while
Let me get away before the darkness takes my load
Before the darkness takes control
Before the darkness takes me
Before it takes me
Before I'm gone
Come and see
Come
and
see
Save me
