Judgement

Emotion overpowering me
Taking control
Burning my soul

Wide open,
I slash my heart
Reveal to you what's there
As tears of blood
Run down my face

My cuts are clean,
My heart is in no pain
Your soft caresses overtake me
You're gentle words
An unbreakable addiction

This battered heart
I'll offer to you
Hoping to meet your expectations
Fearing brutal isolation

Yet I still I stand
Swallowing my tears
Refusing to give in 
to senseless fears

I Stand before you
My heart in your hands
I await your judgement
I await the sentence
Cold, bars of steel
or
your heart's appeal?
