Fractured

I need you to fill my hollow bones

I want to curl up with you on a rainy day

So neither of us will have to cry alone

And neither of us will be out in the cold

 

I need this so I may build a ribcage

Around a heart that actually beats

We can rebuild our skeletons together

So we can finally stand on our own, but not alone

 

I need a mouth to wrap around mine

To taste the words I can't bring myself to speak

And I won't mind if your lips are rough from screaming

As long as your lips will echo me

 

I need you so that my heart doesn't fade from lack of use

But I have my own storm clouds too

So I need you to need me back

To need someone just as broken as you
