Behind the bars

Steal me....
But spare me the air that I breathe in...

Break me....
But spare me the love that builds me up...

Tear me apart...
But spare me the memories which heal me each day...

Crush me...
But spare me the ones who are my lifeline...

Abandon me...
But spare me the land where I grew up...

Kill me...
But spare me my dreams where I live...

Steal me...
Break me....
Kill me....

I won't let you down....

But spare me something...
Something which I can't live without...
Something which is everything for my life....
Something which is the meaning of my existence...
Just something I need to stay....
With which my soul will go on and on....
Forever...
Throughout the time indefinite....

Wow, I really, really like this poem. Finding it hard to find the words for why I was so drawn to this. Maybe I just sense the pain and old wounds that seem to be being brought out in this. It's very good. I like the way it is set up too.
