Whispers In the Dark

I know you may not see it but even if you never do, I still want to tell you that if everyone else has abandoned you I never will. Friend, you are the words I whisper in the dark, your name stretched across my heart, tearing my soul apart. I would take a bullet for you, take away all the pain from you, watch my scars open and bleed, my hands spread like the heavens to catch you if it would save you, heal you. You are so very close to my everything. The world itself would seem void and bare if you were not there. Surely, there is no life beyond you and no happiness that should appear if you were not near. My mind traces it's circles around you. My hands grasp for something not there. I'm restless. I need to see you. Need to hear your voice, view your face because my mind can't erase you. You're my weakness, my Achilles heel because you felt so real like a dream that had not yet faded. I'm afraid to say that I think you're gone and I wonder if I've ruined everything in my life by hurting you. My head is reeling as I find my way through the pain, black as night, a dark silhouette veiling the light drenched in rain. Friend, I would die for you and even though I would never want you to do the same I wish you would want to because I wish I were loved the same way.
