They sucked out my blood <br />They took away my life <br />Thy drained my soul <br /> <br />They made me only half of a whole... <br />My heart screams what my voice can't shout <br />My soul aches what my body can't feel <br /> <br />My mind cries what my eyes won't shed <br />My body is ripping itself apart... <br />I wish I could take away this pain <br /> <br />I wish I could take away this shame <br />I wish you could be here <br />I wish I could take away your fear... <br /> <br />Take your tears, let me shed them <br />Take your fears, let me feel them <br />Take your pain, let it hurt me <br /> <br />Take your darkness, cast it away to me... <br />I am your sheath <br />You are my sword <br /> <br />Come back to me <br />And I'll cover you... <br />They wont' take you for long <br /> <br />I'll never stop singing my song <br />Of sisterly love <br />For you...<br /><br />Lauren Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sheath-n-sword/
