Azrael's Whispers

Needy

I am nothing...
Like air,
I am drifting...
Never resting...
Always moving.

Hold me,
Somebody, please,
Hold me.
Be my anchor...
Secure my feet.

Be careful now,
For I am fragile.
I am broken,
Cracked,
With many pieces.

My heart has been scattered,
And now the shards
Are everywhere.
And I need you to help me
Put it back together.

I won't ask for much...
Just a little time.
Not many words...
Just a gentle kiss,
And a tender touch.

I am death,
And you are my life.
If I lay down,
Only with you by my side,
Can I again,
Arise.

My past haunts me,
So, to you,
I run.
The night scared me,
So to your arms,
I come.

Whispers are passing...
The demons are muttering...
And even family is forsaking
But you...
Will you stay with me?

My fears are endless...
And my hope,
Extinguished.
So I count on you...
Don't let me fall.

I was a star.
But that was before.
Now am a void...
I need filling up.

I am empty...
Devoid of form and shape.
I am ugly...
But I'll trust you...
You will find me beautiful...
Won't you?

My scars are all over,
Look at me,
Bloody, bruised, battered.
Bind me up please,
Kiss closed my wounds.

I am desperate...
Shamed by life,
But not ashamed to say
I am needy.
Needy of affection...
Needy of love...
Needy of you.

I come to you for love...
For acceptance.
I need you to make it better...
To wipe my tears...
To cover my scars.

Don't make me known,
Just cover me.
I don't want to shine,
I just want to hide.

So cover me.
Hide me.
Don't let them see me.
I don't want their recognition.
I only want you...
I only need you.

Be my friend.
Be my lover.
Don't turn me aside.
Be my home.

If I am lost,
Find me.
Be my compass
In this wasteland
I call my life.

Give me colour,
Give me sweetness
I am bitter...
Be my sugar.

Tender kisses...
Tender loving.
Gentle touches...
Gentle spechees.
That's all I'm asking for.

I guess what I'm saying is,
"Please,
Don't leave me."
