Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
STOP

LOOSTEN YOUR GRIP
LOOSTEN YOUR GRIP
LOOSTEN YOUR GRIP
you're slipping

you're okay
you're okay
you're okay
YOURE FALLING SAVE YOURSELF YOU ******* IDIOT

HOLD ON
HOLD ON
HOLD ON
relax

you're holding on too hard
you're barely holding on
should you even be holding on at all

Tell me

*should I let go
clingy clingy clingy oh well

Corrupt the innocence
Poison the sanitized
Intensify the danger
Dischevel the brain
Starve the greed
Feed the curiousity
**** the clock
Ignore the hours
Bury the body
Cover it with flowers
Forget never the philosophy
Of the need for power

I've never been so afraid of you
Never so ultimately frightened
Like I was in that room.

Before you panic, before your face falls flat
Remember there's more to this poem,
More than the first line, yes I'll explain that.

I was unaware that someone so sweet, so gentle,
So innocent with those eyes and words so concerned,
Could hold so tight, while being so careful.

Arms with such a close grip and pressured lips,
Life had never felt scary, so new
But nothing has ever been so worth it.

Now I've run out of words to rhyme and phrases to abuse, but it all comes down to this.
There are people I've known much longer than I've known your sarcasm and wit.
But I've never felt as safe as I did with you.
Frightening, isn't it?
Who is this person I barely know,
Yet have every inch of their mind engraved in my own?
Perhaps there's a possibility I shouldn't have written this.
But maybe I shouldn't care.
Because as you so gracefully put it,
You're all gonna die anyway
So why not write what I must say
it probably doesn't make sense at all and it's probably weird but I couldn't stop thinking and yeah idk just if u don't get it just know it means i like u ok.

Him
Now I have a new mission
He just needs someone to fix him
He's been using the temporary release
But it'll only be so long before the temporary cure will cease
Sometimes I may have to cover the gun he's pointing at me
But he'll throw it away as soon as he sees
You're not crazy, my dear
You're innocent and sweet, and it shows with each tear
I'll be here for you, I won't leave like the others
Just lay with me here under the covers
Close your eyes and find something calming in what I say
I'll do whatever I can to make it okay

just hold my hand
let me feel safe for a moment

wrap your arms around me tight
allow me to relax for the night

don't let go of me
strangely enough, it'll show me what it's like to be free

quiet my fears as we sit and hide
be the one to **** the monster inside

you don't have to stay if you do not want
i simply need even the slightest bit of temporary love,
to just as temporarily silence the anxieties that taunt

keep me calm
please

Since I do not love myself
It is eminent that at least someone does
Because even with that,
My anchor is loosening

To lay in the light sheets that cover what they must
To enjoy the light breeze that confuses love w lust
To trace patterns on my naked back
To run fingers around the muscles that I lack
To fall asleep on a rough Saturday night
To wake up on a rainy Sunday morning
To enjoy each other's company
