I wish so much I could hold you,
Hold you for a moment my dear,
Before my lungs give out from me.
I still have this overwhelming fear,
This fear of falling asleep alone.
I wish to hold you before I let go.
I know you will want to sleep by me.
I wish so much you wouldn't come.
I know things will be beyond difficult,
I know for a while you will only feel numb.
You'll want to hold my hand and jump.
But darling you must stay here longer.
Things will get better even without me.
Compared to me you were always stronger.
It's ok if you hate me for a momentary blink,
I promise I understand the hatred burning.
I know you'll want to fall asleep,
Silver in your hand and your stomach churning,
But put it away my love it's not your time.
I promise my ghost will sit with you for a little while.
