you say you want
to hold me
in your arms
please do
make me feel safe
and loved
hide me from the world
and all the Pain it brings

you say you want to
Love me
and make me feel
beautiful
please do
but also know
no matter how much you
Love me
and say i’m beautiful
i will always have trouble
believing you

you say you want
to protect me
from myself
please do
don’t leave me alone
with these thoughts in my head
tearing me apart
from the inside out
always threatening
to take me away
from you

hold me please
through the Pain
and heartache
i’ve felt
and i will do the same
for you
