Hold me close
on this warm night
for I'm terrified
of being alone
in this huge vulgar world
Keep me safe
with your arms
tight around my delicate body
and fragile soul.
Don't ever let me
go. We will face
everything together.
Please. Just don't
let me go tonight,
or tomorrow or ever.
I'm trying hard for it
to not look like I'm
hiding but I just
want to nestle my
head in the crook
of your strong neck
and close my eyes
from the world.
