I know that you're broken,
And all your pieces are scattered,
I know that you're bruised,
And your pale skin is battered.

I can see the scars,
That you're trying to hide,
And I can see the hurt,
Burried beneath your pride.

You're barely holding together,
Your tattered, fraying threads,
The harder you try to keep it in,
The more the hole spreads.

Stop trying to battle alone,
When I'm here with sword in hand,
I can help you pick up the pieces,
There'll be nothing we can't withstand.

Don't give up the fight,
My friend who is so fragile,
Take my hand and let me hold you,
Let me love you for a while.

You think that it's not worth it,
And just want to give in,
So you run the blade down your arm,
Breaking your heavenly skin.

I wish that I could show you,
How much you mean to me,
But you just push me away,
And wallow in your debris.

Why can't you see what I see?
I think that you're amazing,
I love your scars, and your wounds,
And your eyes that are always blazing.

I am giving you my all,
So don't leave me alone,
I'm begging you to fight for me,
Follow me into the unknown.

Don't give up the fight,
My friend who is so fragile,
Take my hand and let me hold you,
Let me love you for a while.

This piece is so moving and captivating! The standard every other rhyme is very effective, and the words choice is phenominal. I also love the fact that you rpeated third verse as the last one, it concluded the peom very well. This is one of those poems that can be a long one, becasue it proficiently flows along. I also like the fact that you added no suurounding adjectives, so the reader can imagine whatever they feel is appropiate. It also conects to many people, even those who think they fall under this catagory are moved. I know I am loved, yet I was still touched by your words. A very well-written verse. Keep it up.
