Broken Invitations

Their incoherent arms are beckoning from the shadows.

They call for me oh so seductively.

They know I am weak,

They know I long for their embrace once more.



Oh how I have missed their safety.

I live deep within myself once I am victim to their grasp.

So deep, i do not hear reality calling.



But what is happening? Reality and longing have become a blur, the defining line diminished beyond repair.



I have tried time, and time again
to mend this shattered little soul
that is mine to keep.

But no, each time i am brought flying back to what was.

What is...





Their beckoning is becoming more insistent now.
They know,
They know...

Something inside me is weakening each time i am lead to fall.

You grasp for my hands, but it is no good - I slip and fall,
They are there to catch me.

Mind and body receding, and fast.



I am taken in by their suffocating grasp again.

I let them live my lie.

I let them drain my soul for all its worth.







I invite them in, once again.
