Drown me in your arms
I'm in need of water
Satiate my thirst
I'm not the perfect daughter
Plunge me into the depths
Of calm and peace
Quiet my mind
Please
Muddle my ears
Until I can no longer hear
Cover me up
Don't let them see me dear
Hold me while I shake
Hold me while I break
Hide me from the world's eye
Warm me up
As I tremble
Teeth chattering
From fear
Keep my focus on you
As her words whisper in my ear
Make me look into your eyes
Until it's the only thing I see
Make me bare my soul to you
As I shudder in relief
Hold me tighter as I fall apart
Wishing I were dead
Grip my head
Pull me closer
Remind me I have a heart
Let me listen to your breathing
As I struggle to do the same
Lend me your hearts rhythm
As my panic stays on replay
I'll breathe in your comfort
Cocoon myself
Within your arms
Remind myself I need this
As my brain gives warning alarms
I'm not the perfect daughter
And maybe that's alright
Their expectations were quite low
And mine were too high
Maybe it's for the best
That they let me go
So I could embrace who I am
To let myself have feelings
For someone who understands
What I wanted
They couldn't give
And what I gave
Was too much for me to live
We never did meet in the middle
And perhaps
It would've killed me if we tried.
