Take my hand and Never let go..

Written By: Maham Shahbaz

There in a corner I was..

I almost gave up hope on this world 

I was tired of being in the shadows 

I knew nothing of people

but their black cold hearts and changing nature..

u came their , a light glowing around u.. 

u sat there next to me , like a mother sits by her child.. 

u tried to take my hand but I couldn't give u ,it was so dark.. 

u smiled and said 'i'll illuminate u'

I replied 'I don't want another broken wish' 

u stood up in front of me , covering me 

'I wont let anything harm u, 

I will be your shield just come back to the light with me' 

what is in light ,I asked,

broken hearts ? Broken wishes? Plastic smiles ? Fake assurance? I'm good alone 

I saw a tear trickle down your eyes you held your hand once more to me 

'I will never give up on u' 

I looked down my bloody hands, I didn't want that blood to be on your hands.

Confused still I asked u 'but why?' 

He smiled in the simple way he always did 'I love u that's why' 

I gave a sarcastic laugh 'love ? There is no love but lies and fake promises' 

'You don't know , you haven't tried me . 

Everyone is not the same. Try me and you wont fail again .

I will hold you firmly and you wont feel alone'

with this u took my dark hand and u kissed my ice cold heart and it melted away..

this time I didn't back away, I let u have it...
