wish i could

[Blue_Angel]

you tried so hard
but you're tired now, too tired to believe
unclench your hands and rest your head
let the blood flow more freely than tears
between us.
so lost, you try to be bitter
acid sting is better than half a heart
the purity of your soul heaves
against a dry world that would
suck the life right out of you.
my hands are full
but every time the words close
they leave me in doubt
with only the shadow of
your beguilded kindness to lead me on.
you're perfect, you're pure
and I long to give you rest.

-for a good soul

it seems like this poem is saying that one must let go of the sadness in order to embrace what's gone... sadness can be so all encompassing, and that's not how we embrace the memory of something we so cherished
