Take From Me
by Melissa C. Rives → (All Poetry by Melissa C. Rives)

Rein in all my anger,
Before it floods my mind.
When threads of fury bound inside,
Start fraying and unwind.

Take me on a journey,
So far I can't look back.
Keep me focused on the light,
Of my soul intact.

The blood has dried,
With the tears I cried...
But the wounds still run so deep.

Take from me my nightmares,
That my mind can find some peace.
Cover me in heaven's dreams,
'Till my soul has felt release.

The scars have healed but sometimes itch,
The memories seeping in.
Underneath my skin they crawl,
To torment me again.

The blood has dried,
With the tears I cried...
But the wounds still run so deep.

So take my hand and walk with me,
That I may never fall.
And give in to these demons past,
When my name I hear them call.

Don't let me slip away again,
To darkened memory's lane.
For if you'll stand and guard my heart,
I'll feel no more their pain.

The blood has dried,
With the tears I cried...
But the wounds still run so deep.
