I wished for security,
in ways only you could
lock around my uncontrollable conscious.
I just wished for sanity,
inside your warm embrace
but you scolded me with your backfire,
and scorned me with your tongue.
The only thing I ever really need
is your action to yell down my throat
and jump my bones,
but your words are silent
and my bones are chilled.  
Seems my nerves have been shot
and you loaded the gun
So I grow weak as anxiety overwhelms me
whilst I sit on top of this mountain
of circumstance that’s been built for me.
I’m sorry I can’t control time,
or the way things workout for the worst
but maybe you need to realize
that you need me,
just as much as I needed you.
