Need And Desperation

Breakdown in front of me
I want you alive
But almost dying out of the pain
I like it when you cry to me
It just says that you need me
Love you when you howl in my arms
That's when I can use my charm
On you.

I want to be the LIGHT
The only thing that guides you
In your dark dark world
I want to share my warmth
When you come home shivering
And drenched in rain
I want to be there
For you.

Your tears bring me joy
Though I don't know why
But it just makes me feel complete
I feel insanely sane
If your depression is what I feed on
What can I say?
It's a support system to me.
I wanna have the power
To blow the storm away
But it's one that only YOU  can give me

So I beg you please
Let your guard down
For me

Author's Note

When I watched the episode of Dexter with Rita's funeral, I cried like crazy. Especially the scene where he kills that random guy and starts crying. All I could think was how much he needed to be loved. And I was going through a tough time too, so I totally understood. When the episode was over, I grabbed my journal and wrote this.

I really really loved this. And the color just painted on even more emotion. I would only change one little itty bitty thing, when you wrote:
So I beg you please
Let your guard down
To me

I would change it to "For me". It makes it more personal from a first person perspective. Otherwise...it's art for the eyes.....and the words flowed beautifully! xo

I get motivation from music and reading poetry. I like the artwork and the story in the poetry.
"It's a support system to me.
I wanna have the power
To blow the storm away"
