First poetry post! ~All I~

All I
You can bruise me you can use me

But I promise you, I will never turn away

I believe that somewhere deep inside of you

Sleeps the friend that I know will always come through 

So here I'll wait only just a call away

And if you should ever need me 

I'll come running anytime night or day

And maybe you will finally see

That all I want

Is for you to be in my life

That all I need

Is just to know that you  care for me

Do you see me standing here trying to reach out

Do you hear me straining not to shout

Please don't disappear and leave me full of doubt  

The reason that I'm voicing my fears

Are due to wounds from previous years

I was shattered in darkness

Being chocked with fear

Truly felt that no one was near

No one saw my shining tears

I was bruised and I was broken

I was used and I was choking

Didn't think I'd ever trust again 

I am holding on with all my might

putting all my trust into this not wanting to lose this fight

I am ready for this friendship to take flight
