True Compassion

Bright like the sun, the stars shine down.
Not knowing where to begin, we find common ground.
So many things. So many difficulties in me.
The throw them aside, and look at the heart. That's all you see.
The true depth of my soul has been revealed,
to the person that I find unreal.
My heart cries for you. My love shouts,
Pain. Pain. Again, the same repetitive morn.
I prick myself after each and every thorn.
Each and every other heartbreak, I fall.
I lose my strength, myself. I call.
A new. Always a new. Needing more love.
But I can't take the landing, because I was shoved.
Shoved to the harsh ground. Unable to act,
before I have the chance to react.
Forced love. So beautiful, but later, so painful.
Oh my god, I cry every night. Kill me now, save me the fright.
I want to love you lord. I want to know you.
But these distractions are keeping me from the blue.
The wide open space you give me to see the light.
I'm blind and can't see. Save me. Kill me, tonight.
I want to know love.
Friends, family, all loved. All so very dear to me.
But it seems impossible to shed even some of my love, to thee.
Take me from her. Let me know your passion.
I'm falling, save me. True compassion.
