Place it on me...pleaseA Poem by Jack...For a friend who is in pain
Place it on me...please My heart cries of this pain she feels Draped in nightmare cloth, heavy weave of iron bars and barbed wire jagged Stealing her smile, breaking her will, devouring happiness before it blooms Tormenting tint on broken windows and shards of anxious reaching with extended arms that long to hold her, much too short, but still trying…never giving up Tears fall of distant eyes, voices scream in angst of denial For I stand here demanding this pain, begging, pleading to the heavens… place it on me, take me to my knees, for it is there that I crumble anyway, a massive heap on crushed posies staring on me with sorrowed eyes Pounding the asphalt, my palms bleed blood mingles with gravel, red clings to visions as worry wreaks my gut To feel helpless… worthless Cussing blinded metaphors of withered understanding Take my heart, for it knows not the pain yet feels it in waves of despair… crashing of desires and needs, dreaming it with open eyes and blistered imagination Hear my plea, take it from her place it on me…please © 2013 Jack...Author's Note
