Give me!

Give me something I can hold on to

When my entire world is turning upside down.

You don’t owe me anything

But give me anyway.

.

Let’s not pretend we know each other

Now,  when I need someone who understands…

Just be there for me

Like strangers sometimes are.

.

When I stop shaking and let you go

You can run away relieved

You may never look back

And I will understand:

.

You hate to be tied down.

We don’t know each other, and that’s fine

Just give me your hand

I won’t keep it for ever.

  4. A sad and beautiful poem…but I am a romantic and believe everyone should have a hand to hold on to through thick and thin…a hand to touch when morning light wakes you for no reason…a fine poem you’ve given us.

    • Thank you! I am humbled by your appreciation. I don’t want to be a cynic, but unfortunately most people don’t have that hand to hold. This is what makes the poem even sadder, I think.
