Extended Hand
Why do you extend your tattered hand
To hold a rusting blade
Why do you extend your love
into this abandoned cave
Why must you insist on caring..
for a poison that will kill
Why do i crave to be be cared for.
and yet i hold back still
This conflict is too demanding
I keep breaking under its weight
Why must i deny myself
a pleasure in my own fate.
I push away my weary tears
I hide away from you
THis blade jsut cuts in deeper
Though not deep enough for you
I fear what you could give me
I fear what i desire
I fear ever meeting that one
that could ease this cursed fire.
I look upon the strewn corpses
that suffered all my wrath
I look back upon the times i missed
to mend my broken path
I wish not to ever see your corpse
upon my tattered trail
But i see it in my waking anguish
I can hear your tortured wail.
And so i ask again in plea
again i ask you why
why extend your tattered hand
To something doomed to die.

I think in general that you reach out like that because you see something of yourself in that person / some connection that you can relate to. It makes me think of the movie Leaving Las Vegas (very depressing) where a prostitute and someone drinking themself to death reach out to each other. Both of them know that it won't last, but there's still a connection there. For the short time that they were together, they were better than they had been. That's also part of it I think, sometimes we reach out because we hope that we'll both become better people because of the other one.

Spoken from the heart. Your willingness to expose your soul is SO brave. It's beautiful, just like you, sweetie pie!

yes thats what i mean, we are in a way opposites in a way i keep myself from harm by not getting involved anymore, thus preventing me becoming a victim, and i see your afraid to open up or feel the hate and sadness, *hugs* its hard to get over, why is mankind so just tormenting.

OOh, I like all the darkness with the black and white image. The effect on the hand is really cool, the way it looks as though it has stitches on it. Hehe, the border is nice to too, the way it fits in with the black and white theme and the poem, woah, i love how emotional it is. Excellent piece
