I want to know about
all your battles and wars
And I'll show you my scars
If you show me yours.

Show me you care,
Because I'm starting to feel
Like nothing to you.

Some nights I'll need you
To hold me a little tighter.
For those are the nights that
My world shakes, and I might
Break apart.

Some nights you'll need me
To hold you a little tighter,
And I may not be very strong,
But on those nights,
I will hold you like you are the only thing
I have to hold on to.

I wish I could hold you in my arms
Late at night
And whisper I love you,
The moon and stars the only witnesses

I wonder how many of us
Would cure our loneliness
And depression,
Heavy nights of silent tears,
If it meant we would never write
A truly heartfelt poem again.

If sadness were as potent as alcohol or drugs
Before I met you
I would've been wasted all the time
And high as a kite.
