Stop & Smell The Roses

HOLD MY HAND

Hold my hand and walk me down the path,
Teach me as if you were showing an infant how to bath.
Hold me now, I have started to tremble,
Pick up the pieces and give them an assemble.

It's not easy to take the light of a dark pain,
It's not easy to be in the shadow of an immense disdain.
You can't pretend to be fine when sorrow bites your skin,
It wounds you like a knife but you show it as a pin.

It is not easy to just keep waiting,
It feels good to just start hating.
Why can't it be you despite of your virtues?
Or maybe you just don't have any virtues.

What wrong is it to ask for something you deserve?
Why can't you get it, why do they preserve?
Is it that bad to allow you just one chance,
You are not ugly, they could take one glance.

But are you so bad that you have to ask for it?
Can't they give it when you do not even ask for it.
What is it that hides you from your very light,
What is going wrong and what isn't being done right!

I might get over you and never come back,
I don't need your support for I have my back.
All I want from you is to love me,
And treat me in a way as if nothing were above me.

Its no wrong to ask for this, you just have to love me,
Just like the way you say, "I want someone to love me".
I don't want attention, I have never even liked it,
You think I like it but I always despise it.

Just go away and make it easy for me,
Though it won't be easy as only I'll be there for me.
Wait back only if you truly want to offer,
I'll never lose you for I'll keep you in my coffer.

I don't know if I am your friend or not,
I don't know if you could be my friend or not.
Leave me if you're happy after it, don't wait by the strand,
For it is a place for two, where you hold my hand.
