There, still there?

Are you there? Still there?
The thumping of a heart within me
Familiar, does not feel mine
Since that dreadful night.
Ignorant child of the brave and strong!
My veils are no more opaque,
My walls are no more concrete.
Detest as I did always the weak,
Weakness befalls on me today.
Yearning for the warmth of your embrace
in this unknown chill,
My bare soul lay still.

If you are there, still there
Don\'t take my hand as I stumble,
Lie with me, star-gazing
Let your stolen glances affirm
You are there, still there.
