Hold Me

January 4, 2016 1:00 AM

When I woke up,

you were laying there

Your eyes wide open,

and your face and neck were covered in blood

Your hand was outstretched;

I took it in mine, but it was cold

I took your face in my hands,

trying to coax you awake,

first softly, then desperately,

but all you offered was that blank stare

through cold grey eyes...

My mouth made a noise,

but it was my heart that screamed

And then I woke up,

sweating and crying, teeth clenched

And I looked at your worried eyes in front of me

desperately searching me

All I could offer, after catching my breath,

were two words

"Hold me."
