Leave

Take me from where I am,
And guide me closer to you.
Give me the scars that tear out your heart,
So I can be closer to you.
Kiss me again and feed me your pain,
Then haunt me when I am alone.
Nestled in mind, I hold you inside,
And make your sorrow my own.
As death closes in, I burn deep within,
Taste your breath and caress your face.
Before I should die, please take me aside,
For one last eternal embrace.
