I Offer Me (Free verse) by leviathan
I offer my hand to thee
If indeed it is salvation that inside your soul you seek
I open my arms for thee
to expose a heart designed to absorb your sin
and deliver you from judgment of anything tainted you may have ever been
I extend my hand to thee
And offer a little bit of something
I offer me
Isolation within the confines of mourning can prove fatal
I have felt its talons open my flesh
And I beg you to run
I have already lost my soul grieving something that never was
But Heaven cannot afford to lose the beauty of yours
For the world will cease to be if it ever does
If you have any faith left at all then I am on my knees to beg of you
Shed the darkness that has fallen upon you
Turn your eyes from the faces of every secret demon
And run like Hell before you my dear become a victim too
I offer my faith to thee
If you swear to never extinguish its subtle glow
It is all that I have as all else has been taken
And die I will if ever again my fragile heart is forsaken
I offer myself to thee
Smiling as I hope you find something to love
hoping you find me
Soothing words and a gentle touch
Could hardly satisfy the dormant desires of a mourning queen
Compassion and loyalty offer little consolation
For a mind twisting with curiosity
Honesty exists undesired as it makes life too monotonous to live
Yet all these precious things
Are the only thing I know how to give
Even now I would die for one taste of your succulent soul
One breath of the radiance that your heart exhales
One chance to make everything you are every reason that I live
But I am disfigured and do not shine like the rest
I conceal scars from wounds inflicted by hate
And sometimes I remember how badly it hurt
Almost as much as knowing that no one was there to share the pain
I swear by all that I am to offer you all that I have
I promise to look for me until I am found
smiling sweetly in the back of your favorite dream
I commit my heart to you until it is so mesmerized that it bleeds
For you I will suffer through anything
to be everything that you need.
