HOLD MY HAND

Hold my hand!

Hold my hand when I reach for you

In the dark and silent nights

When my own shadow scares me

And plants my feet in the quicksand

When the closest branch is beyond reach

And the vine is too weak

Do well to hold my hand

Hold my hand when I am sad

When you say my name

And I do not turn

When you crack that joke

And I do not laugh

Hold my hand because you know me

Hold my hand and make me smile

Hold my hand when I yell at you

Hold my hand and remind me

Remind me of anger's wages

Hold my hand and calm me down

Hold my hand against your heart

Hold my hand like its my heart

Hold my hand like it's your dying wish

And not because I want you to

When my knees go numb

And my thighs shrivel

Hold my hand and help me stand

Hold my hand like you understand

Hold my hand like I've held your hand!!
