Kiss Me Softly

Of depression and dependency - trigger warning for cutting.

Kiss me softly and tell me of starlight,
Spiralling galaxies, scattered and glittering.
Out here, dark on the horizon,
Show me the stars, show me your heart.
I’ve been waiting, I’ve been hoping,
That you’d be the one to catch me when I’m falling.
I’ve been sinking, yet I’ve been flying,
And it’s you who holds me and keeps me from drowning.

You’re the tree I cling on to,
I’m just a leaf, scared of drifting away,
Tossed and torn in a storm,
Crumbling in the wind.

And I am broken, fragile and weak,
You help me, for I can’t save myself anymore.
You’re my light in the darkness,
But you’ve gone and left me, I can’t see my way.

I’m just an echo, a ghost fading now,
The dream that I dreamed, burnt down into ashes.
Scars on my arms, you left your mark,
And I can’t breathe, I can’t eat.

You’re not here, my heart is aching,
Crimson tears, mixed with salt washing me to sleep.
I am scared, trembling,
All I wanted was you to stay with me.

You’re the tree I try to cling to,
I’m just a leaf, now I’m drifting away.
Tossed and torn in a storm,
Crumbling in the wind.

And I am broken, fragile and weak,
Come help me, for I can’t save myself anymore.
You were my light in the darkness,
But you went and left me, I can’t see my way.

Kiss me softly and say that you love me,
I’ll close my eyes and pretend that it’s true.
Hold me tight as I break into pieces,
Oh it’s too late for me now.
