BESIDE ME
To die alone,
naked on a cross of wood,
a fate too awful to condone,
no one ever should
Wounded wrists,
and shattered feet,
my weary body lists,
forced to admit defeat
My chin drops to rest,
shocks of long brown hair,
conceal my milky breasts,
only my nipples poking fair
My belly flat and dead,
slopes to and gently joins,
thighs weakly spread,
exposing open loins
I need her there,
together beside me,
to witness as I suffer,
my shocking pain to see
Only then can she,
ever grasp for sure,
how deep our love can be,
eternally strong and pure
I die upon this wretched cross,
aching and yearning,
my poor heart at a loss,
wanting and thirsting
To love her is my apogee,
I want her everywhere,
If she is beside me,
I need not ever care
