Black Poetry : Don't Try

Don't Try

I would let you give your love but I am
too shaky to hold
and the world is spinning 'round, I think I need to lie down.
You could try to warm me up but I am
really much too cold -
you would melt me if you felt me just
a puddle in which to drown.

I would let you hear my voice but is
it really worth the pain?
I could say things wrong so easily, I think I'll stay alone.
Try to tell me otherwise you're
driving me insane -
I will never be the me you see,
there is ugly inside my bones.

I would come out from my corner but
I'm too attatched to part.
I'm a shadow drawn upon the wall, I think it's permanent.
You could try to take my hand but I
will never give my heart -
I have locked it in a box
within these walls of thick cement.
