[let Me Help You] Poem by Empath In flames

Let me help you.

Couldn’t we just sift away,
The hostility you have for me
And can’t we just get to
The spiritual side of it all?
I know you feel something inside that
Thick exterior leather wallet-heart of yours.
Are you too afraid that I will discover your identity.
Know who you are
And see where you go to cry.
Allow me to approach you,
Rather than cutting me open with those razor eyes
Let me help you,
To fill the void you have.

You can run away,
But can you escape the silence?
Cover your ears and listen for the numbness
You may feel like you are safe,
Trapped in a jar
With lid tightly sealed but it is glass after all
Loneliness will turn to anger,
And those fragile sections can shatter.
The noise will come back to you and all you’ll have
Is the shelter from something you destroyed...
Let me guide you,
Through the storm of broken shards...

You can ignore me all you want,
But I will continue to stay five counts behind you.
Three seconds to give you distance,
But two to catch you when you feel
Like falling.
And if this means I am forever chasing you
For years to come,
Then that is what I will do....
Let me help you....

Pick you up...
Guide you through...
Catch you when you’re falling down...
Dust you off...
watch you...

And just watch you....
Walk away.
