Mandy Russell Poetry

You reach for me, and I pull away

There is nothing more I want to say

I want to bask in my sorrow of this moment

I want to wallow in the mire of discontent

Your reach for me and touch me every day

You want to hold my heart in yours as we sway

I push you aside to fill my prideful prism

Stopping the internal chaticism

You tell me you love me as I cry

I look into the mirror and wonder why

Tainted from the slumber of my burnt soul

You reach for me, you make me whole

I try to not give in to your warm embrace

Then I witness the love written on your face

You forgive me for my humanistic traits

You bring me from the depths of sorrows straights

I witness your internal glow

Then my love for you does grow

How this anger does subside

You bring me from my foolish pride

You reach for me and I fall in

Into the arms of love where happiness may begin
