Sanctuary

Sitting on this high up perch,

city lights twinklng; so many stars on earth,

the beauty below me fuels the rage in my soul,

the pain and frustration destroys my control,

screaming in agony; the memories return,

the anger in my heart continues to burn,

the walls i built; crumble and give way,

for the weakness to return; remembering that day,

dropping to my knees; the colorful lights taunting,

sobs wrack my body; this realization daunting,

the strength; it  fades as the truth is unfurled,

the only clear thing is you in my world,

no matter how weak i know that i am,

the pain will recede; just take my hand,

i'm broken, yes, i know that's true,

but that doesn't change my love for you,

the anger, it fades into a love so pure,

you are my sanity; of this i am sure,

so hold my together as i fall apart,

alas, awaken the love within my heart.
