Hold Me Through The Night

A Poem by Dark Tower

Hold Me Through The Night

I close my eyes
And in an instant I
I am surrounded by a wall of shadows
Eyes dark and hollow
Piercing me like steel tipped arrows
Their tendril reach into my heart and feast on my sorrow

I feel the weight of sins never spoken
Mind shattered
Heart broken
Eyes closed
Arms open
My love I need you to fall in them
I need you
To come and bring order to all of the mayhem
I have a lot of inner demons
And only you can slay them
I know their names
And I often say them
Being the son of Armstrong
You'd think that would mean that I'm strong
But I've been cold and alone for so long
That being warm and happy seems wrong
Your name resonates in my heart like the sound of a great gong
Want us to hop on to the train of love and just roll on

I'm sorry I constantly test you
I'm sorry that sometimes I let emotional messes win through
I'm sorry
That subconsciously push you away
I dont want you to ever go away
It's a fear of mine
But in my life everyone I love tends to fade away
I thank God everyday
That he gave me a mom he sees all my flaws and sticks through
I know it sounds weird
But I see a lot of that special woman in you
The way I only ever smile when I see either of you
You're both the only people I can look in the eyes
And say I love you to
A never hesitate for second to believe its true

You're both the only people who know how to make me feel better
You're both the only people I'd run to hug in any weather
You're both the only people I've ever let see my fears
The only people who know how to wipe away my tears

My love is not residual
Its whole and complete
And meant for only one individual
Rolled it up and threw around you like a lasso
Forever mine
T.I.O
