This is my poem,

The Fires of Fear

Standing at the edge of the precipice,
I offer myself to you
Be careful as you approach me,
my heart cannot take take the stress,
cannot withstand the pain.
The fears of life, whether real or imagined, consume me
Their fires burn seemingly eternal.
But I am reaching out from the flame.
Will you take my hand?

 

And this is what Jay responded to me,

The Winds of Time

Up on the high hill,
Up close by the ledge,
You thought you were alone,
but look here I am,

A tear runs down your cheek,
you offer me everything,
pushed to the edge she must let go,
I pull you away from dangers faltered edge,
You scream, you cry,
you die away deep into my arms,

I cannot conceive your pain,
All that I can be had,
All that I can be,
I offer my comfort,
I offer you my whole,

To face distructions end,
To face the bitter end,
you don't yet comprehend,
How many of your dreams will come true,

Fairytale or real,
that I'm not exactly sure,
All I can do is be your guide,
My only fear one I try to hide,
my fears wispered from the winds of time,

I reach out to hold your hand,
I reach out to share someone to hold,
I reach out to take comfort and share,
I reach out to show you the world,

Your soft gentle touch soft against mine,
This will help you remind that I am real,
There is no more need for fear,
there is no more need for pain,

I have come from long and far,
I have come from ash and paths I roam,
Take me I am yours,
Take me in, don't fear,
Let me wipe away all the pain, fear and tears,
Let me wipe away all,

There will be no sacrifice,
there will only be from me,
I will be your love suicide,
I will be your love everyday.
