Dec 2012
I can't be alone,
So I'm cradled, I'm held,
But my feet are just left
Dangling.

You're nothing to me, you're
Nothing to me.
You're nothing
To me, you're necessary.

I need you to be here,
I need you to go.
And I need to leave, and be
On my own.

But I don't know how!
To do things my way,
I don't know how
To not depend.

I'm clinging, I'm hanging, I'm
Clutching at straws.
I shake, pry open
My own clamped jaws.

And as I walk away again,
So much of me dies.
Forever the girl
With the sad eyes.
