Fallen

Need

something beautiful
in the midst of all the perilous

something peaceful
in the midst of all the chaos

something euphoric
in the midst of all the agony

someone to love
each and every one of us
who has ever felt
alone
afraid
unwanted
unnoticed
mistreated
misunderstood

that is what we need
that is what we seek

who are they
to take it away
from us

who are they
to rip it from our
sore arms

who are they
to force us to let go
of each
and every
one
of our
broken
bleeding
bonded
hearts
and fill them
with hatred
desolation
and betrayal

something silent
to mask the agony

something dishonest
to mask the ugly truth

something selfless
to mask the selfish acts

someone vile
to inject us with lies
to wear a disguise
to leave us behind
to watch as we die

I need someone
