Take Me Instead

Contributed by MoonlightKiss on Tuesday, 22nd September 2009 @ 02:46:57 PM in AEST
Topic: InspirationalPoems

Once I looked into those chocolate brown eyes
Full of loss and sadness, from so many lies
I knew he had followed a path to a dead end
I knew he was lost and hurt, with a heart to mend...

And if I could, I would take him tight in my arms
Shield him from the cruel words and merciless harm
I'd take all the pain; sacrifice myself instead
Because he's had enough; too much he's bled.

As soon as I gazed into those dark emotional eyes
I could see the sorrow reflecting my soul; oh why
Why is this world so heartless; to knock him right down
Someone so sweet and loving; caring without a sound...

If I could, I'd take his larger hand tight in mine
And take him to a place where hurt cannot find
I would heal him and listen to all the things he said
I'd be a channel for his pain ... take me instead.
