Although I long to be held so tight I see stars; and your arms at night Could hold my pieces together Could patch the cracks, keep me Afloat and standing, shakily I cannot ask you for forever.
Do not hold me like I want You'll cut yourself on my hipbones The razors; my chest would bruise You as you try to fix me now Do not love me; I'd pull you down I could not ask you to lose.
I long for your arms, I miss You giving me life with your kiss Breathing fresh air into my lungs Expelling the poison I hide within I'll burn you, hurt you, if I begin To steal your life just to be young.
Although you want to save my soul And piece me into something whole Do not caress me as I crave I'll ruin you; my bones are sharp There's a hole in my stuttering heart Maybe we should go our separate ways.
