2nd Poem

Please tell me,
when will the burning stop?
When will this frustration end?
When will you give me an answer?

Please tell me,
how could I feel like this?
I see no wounds,
there is no spilt blood.
But why am I dying?

Please, oh God, please tell me,
is this in my head?
Is this not a mortal wound, no doctor can heal?
No one can see?

Please show me,
how to live this through.
I can't do this alone, will you help me?
No, please don't go, I don't want to be alone again.
Not again, not again
-not again.
No! No, not now!
Do not leave me I beg of you!
I want to die, if it means to be with you.
But not without you, that is clear to me!
Nothing is worth losing you, not to me.

How can I stand here?
You're leaving me!
Why don't you see me? Or why do you ignore me?
I know you can hear me, I know it.
I knew it, I knew it.
Please forgive me, will you?
Can I ever repent for this?
You know I can't repent for long. You know I can't repent for all.

But I'll try, you said I can do it.
I trust you.


Oh dear I hope you didn't lose sight of me.
I still have these burns. I can see them now.
I know you and I can feel them,
you know you can see them.
It's killing me it is.

You're the only one I want,
you know that right? You're the only one I need.
Will you help me?
Please?
