The Desire To

There was a time I wanted so badly to
Help you heal from
Everything. But you lacked the

Desire to
Escape the cell you kept yourself 
Secluded in and wanted me to 
Indulge in your pain. I have my own to 
Release myself from. There wasn't anyone
Else I wished I could have ran 

To, to your
Open arms and bury myself in your

Softnest, 
Except you got
Too cold for me and

You were not you anymore. Not
Open, not easy like Sunday morning. Knowing what is
Underneath where I wanted to
Rest assured and
Secured, knowing that
Everything would be okay, 
Like if we could love each other, we could lift each other into a
Freedom we both longed to feel. But I

Forgot that I could not
Release your pain, only you could do that. I could not
Erase the scars, I could not
Erase the demons seeping from your wounds
