Would You Hold Me

Hold me

Tell me you can really see 

That though my tears never flow

You understand from where they came and now where I'll go

Understand I can't let it out

I can't break again to make it something we can talk about

I'm paralyzed in fear of a past still too present

And I'm scared of a future I might live to resent

Hold me

Help me dream of what we could be

These memories are stains on my favorite dress

Symbolism of the life that became a mess

Truth is I can't slip out of this and have eyes upon me

My naked truths aren't the same as the scars you'll see

I am scared of a life of memories I can't forget

I am ashamed of choices that aren't mine to regret

Hold me

Show me how to forget the misery

You can't repair the damage that's been done

But you can sit with me through the night and wait for the sun

I hold to this dream that tomorrow won't be another yesterday

But my yesterday's are always monsters of today I still can't slay

Will you stay if the dream is never a reality

Can you love me if my truth had to be another fallacy

Hold me

No words... Just hold me... please

Sometimes there are scars too deep that can't be let out but to have that physical connect of being held when the past comes creeping into the surface. Silence no words to be spoken just comfort.

It's something we all need, thanks for the reading it.

We all need someone who would comfort in times of such distress. This is great pretty much in every way. Wow! Well done!

Good rhyming and lots of emotion.. people who have someone special to hold them are lucky.

I agree, being held is more than an action it's knowing when to do it or when to not have to be asked, it's a complicated thing. Maybe that's just me lol
