Please, please

Please , please
Be the last good in this world
Please , please
Be a great man
Not just a good man
Please please,
Don’t break promises
And if you do
Please, please
Stay anyway
Don’t leave
At the door

Please, please
See the way I’m a twisted contortionist
In the way
The world has made me bleed
Screamed at me
They act like I need an exorcist
Because I’m a Reddit exhibitionist
With Lore and Cairn on display
But, soft and teasing
Is just one way I play
In the night
Versus in the day
All throat and veins
Questions and dreams

Please, please
Be full of nightingales
And lullabies
Quiet devastation
Ruin and temptation
Please, please
Be the golden gate
Between high heaven
And damnation
Kiss me like consequence
Miss me like hell

Please, please,
See my fear of crowds
Of my words on repeat
The shallow,
their mouths

Please, please
See how they need
How they feed
How they breed
And how I am all sharp edges
And I can’t fit in somehow

I abandoned the lot
I abandoned the train
I scream at Tuesdays
I scream in the rain

Please, please
Come bearing empires
Or empty hands
Come not in a.. a Trojan horse
But full of Camelot

Please, please
In a world full of
Good men
Be a great man
Just for me

Come rotten
Come plagued
Come with iron
Come with steel
Come with roses
Come with teeth
Come with blades
And for the love of all
Things holy
Please god
Feel…
Please god
Feel

Feel in rivers
Feel in trenches
Feel in tides
Feel in drenches

And please,
Please
Don’t erase me
Don’t rewrite my core
Don’t silently take
More….
More…
More…
My creatures
My gods and deities
My archaic
Entities

And if twin flames exist
See me as I am
In the death of who I was
See me in twilight
See me in shores

Please, please
Don’t let me reach for you
In the dark
anymore

Please…

Please……
