You came to me
first draft

i sped to this place as so often i have
supposedly seeking your face
straining my ears for a still small voice
i missed you screaming my name

Among the lifeless bound to remain
my flesh succombed to its fate
hardly warm and losing steam
callousness seeped easily in

i could not move
i could not be
until
you came
to me

there i lay
alone in my fears
yet never alone may i be
when i'd tried till forgetting
just why i began
that's where
you came
to me

you've found my open hiding place
you've seen the mess i've undertaken
things aren't always lovely
they're hardly what they seem
yet, even here
you came
to me

until you came to me
i could not move
i could not be
until
you came
to me
