If I sacrifice myself <br />on the alter you call love, <br />could I justify myself- <br />or would you turn and walk away, <br />taking all the pieces of my heart? <br /> <br />If I offered you myself <br />in your sacred space within, <br />could I prove to you my worth- <br />or would you simply turn away, <br />shaken to your core at what you've wrought? <br /> <br />I have nothing else to give- <br />not jewels, fame or gold. <br />There's only me, a tiny spark, <br />despirately groping in the dark. <br />So take my hand- pull me in, <br />let's both share our lonely light. <br />'Cause I'm cold, and you're so near, <br />stay with me, just for awhile, <br />and rescue me from the night. <br /> <br /> 9/23/07<br /><br />Toni Atchison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/desperation-s-love-song/
