Come Back to Me
by
White Wave Dancer

My heart is on the ground.

Dashed to pieces.

Broken by your contempt for me.

The hatred in your eyes

brings tears to mine.

How could you have come

to hate me so?

My daughter, my treasure,

I have only just found you.

Please don't leave me now.

I love you…

Come back to me…

Shed your tears, my child,

and I will dry them.

I wait with open arms

to comfort you, my dear one.

Know the warmth of my embrace.

Know the love I have for you.

Come back to me…please…

I will not give up.

You are still my baby.

I know you still love me.

I can feel it.

Behind those eyes,

those cold and beautiful rubies,

glittering with malice,

I see your warmth, my little joy.

My Small Lady smiles back at me.

I'd wish the hatred from your head,

were it within my power.

I'd steal you from this cold, cruel place,

if only I knew how.

I long to hold you in my arms,

to hear you say you love me, too.

But now it seems your only joy

would be to see me dead.

So be it.

My daughter, my treasure, my little joy,

I swear I'll give my life for you…

If only you'll come back to me.

Author's Notes: I don't know where this came from, and I don't know how good it is. Please be kind. Also, I stole a few song lines for this poem. Let's see who can guess what they are. And if you know, please don't sue. ;)
