your hand around my neck
feels okay
my boy

i know you'd never hurt me
and i know it's your way of crying
whereas you've shed too many tears from those heavy eyes this week

i tried to tackle you down
but you told me that you were stronger than me
and you knew i was trying to help but i wasn't helping

and sometimes i'd cradle your head
and sometimes you would tell me to stop touching you

you knew i'd do anything
and be anyone for you
