Savior.

Savior.

A Poem by Rebecca Hope Rouston

I want nothing more than to see you smile.

Can you look at me and really smile?

I am so overwhelmed.

I run into the dark where I'll be saved.

Where I won't have to hurt anymore.

Where maybe you won't hurt anymore.

I've broken hearts with my f*****g fists.

And now I'm surprised I feel so insecure?

It's not the same when it's happening with you.

I actually feel like I have never loved before.

I just wanted to be there and save you.

The decision always sits upon your shoulders.

Life, death. Razors or there has to be another way.

Could I just scream into the night?

With a bottle of Jack and an Eclipse at the curb.

Or maybe an empty parking lot and the police.

There's just got to be another way.

Is there no way to save you and I?

Could I save you...would that make it stop?

But I wasn't there..

Your writing is so honest and stark... Hurts to read of such pain. I lived in darkness so long, the scars seem to tear apart in the intricate nature of your words...
