Hold Me

when the sky turns dark
and stalkers gaze from behind a hood
waiting for that moment
hold me
when my mind is someplace else
drifting like a rubber raft
in the middle of the ocean
hold me
when blood drips from my skin
and I’m mesmerized by how
life’s running out
hold me
when I scream in pain
and my body becomes a burden
too heavy to bear
hold me
when my ideals crumble
into thousands of pieces
in front of my very eyes
hold me
when love cries
dark red tears into my heart
choking the essence
hold me
when my patience reaches its end
and I give up on what used to be
my everything
hold me
when madness is my best friend
hold me
when there’s no one left
death please
hold me
