After The Ashes

Speak to me sincerely,
Just for once pretend,
No one else is around,
And no one else knows.
I will not live fearing,
I am hurting a friend,
By not making a sound,
To somebody so close.
Lay your soul on a table,
And let me decipher it,
I am tired of guessing,
Exactly what you need.
I have never been able,
To gain a steady grip,
On you without messing,
Up everything I believe.
Pretend I am the only,
Person inside this room,
I beg you to feel free,
To say or do anything.
You know how lonely,
It is living on the moon,
Which is how it seems,
When this is happening.
Don’t let your feelings,
Stop you from sharing,
What is in your heart.
I can accept anything,
If it helps the healing,
And the blank staring,
Like we’re miles apart,
In search of something.
Talk to me and release,
Your deepest concerns,
Or anything that makes,
All of this seem alright.
I’ve plead on my knees,
But I bleed as I yearn,
To know what it takes,
To keep you in my life.
Break from the strings,
Of society around you,
Do not fall down with,
A sinking ship of fools.
They still have nothing,
When I have the truth,
Cherish that as my gift,
After the ashes cool.
Close your eyes, erase,
Everything around you,
Focus on me this time,
Don’t let anyone at all,
Tell you who to hate,
I’m here ready to lose,
It’s for you to decide,
Before the ashes fall.
