Make me Feel

Tell me I am alive.

Convince me

with your tender lies.

Caress my mind

with the secrets

no one else can know.

Let me feel 

all that anguish

all that violence

that has rattled in my veins

since my birth

until my screams turn raw. 

Allow my heart to beat 

just once more

only for you.

Poison my hollow heart

with devotion

only for you.

Take me to that cliff's edge

allow me to plummet

force me to feel

terror

humanity.

Please.

Tell me I am alive

and have something to lose.

[John the Baptist]

A lot of emotion in this one. Also desperation. No external other can fulfill such needs for long.

[foxcryptids]

very true. ultimately we must find how to live for ourselves
