ready for it all
the truth of being true
can i find it in your bed
with the quiet settling of your voice
that still drives me to distraction
starving for acceptance
exhausted by the tears
can you keep me safe from me
in those twilight passing moments
ready to risk the gauntlet again
because i'm not meant to live alone
the love needs somewhere to go
before it rots into regret
so help me stand
in this pile of ashes
to be alive and in your eyes
