pull me closer
the rhythm of your heartbeat
should help
to ease my sorrows
just like
the fluffy blankets
that i pull close
around me
the world
i shut out
to stay alive
the hearts
i try my best
to conserve
hold my hand
when i'm not expecting
it should help
to ease my worries
but for some reason
the darkness
keeps trailing
one step behind me
the light of a computer screen
is not enough
to fend off the monsters
that only now
have started to haunt me
i put my hope
in you
but keeping you close
only to let you go
makes the dark
that much darker
these fluffy blankets
aren't enough
and neither am i.
