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
