i don't want to ask for much
but there are two things
i need, please:
keep me safe, or just feeling safe when
the darkness closes in
and i can't move for fear.
hold me loved, really love me when
i can't face the light of day
and the numbered pressures it brings
i promise,
i'll keep the darkness away from you
i'll hold you loved when light presses in
just please
keep your promise
