Take Them

Mind decided, I shakily walk to you
Indecision tries to save you, stubbornness knows to destroy us
Tiny square crinkled in my palm, eyes cast 6 feet beneath tile
"Sydney!" Radiant smile strums your vocal chords
Furious tears collapse, my arms wrap vulnerable shoulders
Loving floods crash into confused drums, trembling bones terrify hesitant arms
My face painted ashen, death perfecting my funeral attire
Tiny square shoved into quivering fingertips, "Wait" escapes clenched teeth
"Wait until you can't see me", questions tightrope mocha cheekbones
Racing away to blaring tires and screeching horns, heart decomposes
Your quizzical nails peel open paper, "Take them, I love you."
Realization slaps adreniline, feet sprint to the rescue
Body slams through doors, winter kisses kneecaps
Eyes dart to hit bullseye on fleeing backs
"Sydney!" Complete horror cuts steely fate
Marrow cracks vibrate heartbreak, screams trapped in hermit shock
Your legs carry numb senses, blood ressurects loss
Hands push off strangers, chest pillows broken necks
Lips kiss matted foreheads, spine rocks lifeless eyes
"Please no! Sydney please!" Pleading sobs pierce dead beats
"Take them" thoughts tumble, meanings endlessly inserted:
Take (my journals)
Take (my novels)
Take (my music)
Take (my apologies)
Take (my memories)
I love you
