"you won't be lonely"

sorry, a rant....an absolute venting of mine

They always said,

"You won't be lonely,

forever and always, I'll never leave you alone,

especially not

tonight...."

Tonight I'm weak, I feel flawed,

like every ounce of me is contaminated;

The truth lies beneath my words and I'm pleading with you

to get you to get just one look into my eyes,

and if you'd let yourself in I'd tell you:

You always told me,

"You won't be lonely,

forever and always, I'll never leave you alone,

especially not

tonight."

I'd inject you with worry if I could possibly,

I'd grab your wrist and force the fluid in if I could,

I'm desperate enough that I'd do anything,

anything to make you understand how much it means

for you to follow me....

But don't see me so ignorantly,

I know you came looking for me when I disappeared.

So tell me just why you shade your eyes

from every exposure out of disguise?

Give me your arm just for a minute,

the needle's waiting,

and my tears are just the remedy to cure my mind;

Give me your wrist just for a second,

my fingers are urging to touch yours to my soul;

Give me your heart just for a minute,

I beg of you to listen to me.

But is this just what you want,

like glass broken shards to my heart when you glance my way,

is this just what you want?

Do you really think that I see you as

the infallible emotionless heart you portray?

Don't you think I saw your eyes and the depths

of your fear as I said to you,

"I could go home and be gone

By tonight"?

Give me your wrist,

just once....

Give your arm,

just once....

Just please let me touch you today,

just please let me touch you today.

Do you hear the echoing in my soul,

do you see it in my eyes?

"You won't be lonely,

forever and always, I'll never leave you alone,

especially not

tonight...."

This is a good poem but it has a sad and dark feel to it. I am not sure what the needle is but i could take a guess. This poem could go so many ways The wording is done well for it has mystery to it and the repetitive phrases stand out getting your point across in a good way.
