Can't Be

By KissTheSkyPH

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You can’t be The cloth that wipes the blood from my wrists The food that will concede to pass my lips The pillow that can lure me into sleep The tonic that can teach me not to weep. We can’t be together. I can’t be The rose that brings a tremor to your eye The hope that kills your need to wonder why The song that eases all your worldly fears The light that guides you till the peril clears We can’t be together.
