KEEP ME CLOSE, LEAVE ME BE

You hold me close, please don't mislead me,

My heart can't take another beating,

Without you my life loses meaning,

Keep me close, in your safe keeping.

-

You let me know, you show me how,

To love while keeping my feet on the ground,

Even when I have my doubts,

Keep me anchored, below the clouds.

-

You begin to change, like the weather,

Warm and beautiful, then cold and bitter,

Lately things seem more like winter,

Keep me glued, things will get better.

-

You get more stressed, I must be slow,

I don't understand what caused you to blow,

Harsh words make me feel so low,

Leave me be, please let me go.

-

You push and hit, I gasp and cry,

Why did you hit me in my eye?

Off to work, need sunglasses to hide,

Leave me be, just say good bye.

-

You don't know love, you must be broken,

Love is a gift you can't throw like a token,

You cover your ears to the words that I've spoken,

Leave me be, I'm finally awoken.

-

You don't need me, I don't need you,

There's nothing left for me to do,

I sing happy melodies, while you're singing blues,

I am free and done with you.

This just came out of nowhere, but I figured I'd throw it in here!
