My Haven

A Poem by Tyler

Your hands have something to hide,
a heart you're holding.

You squeeze the life
out of what life it had left,
and it's left breathless.

Your hands have something to hide,
and its my heart you're clenching.

I search for air to cling onto,
to take me back to my haven.
But all I can find is the darkness
inside your closed hands.

I'm helpless as you clench
your fists tighter.
Why don't I want to break free?

This illusion is masterful,

my mind is my death.

I want to return to my

heart's embrace.

Your hand can't squeeze forever.
The air will return,
and I will be able to breath.

It'll be worth waiting in darkness,
because tomorrow will be a new me,
one without logical thinking.

An unclouded heart will guide me,
show me your light,
and your beautiful smiling face.
My haven.

This is kind of all over the place. I'd like some comments though.

This is perfect.
it really made me feel like i couldnt breathe.
If there were more guys like you in the world that were actually capable of feeling something, it would be a better place.
