Chereads / Poems from the heart / Chapter 2 - Instructions

Chapter 2 - Instructions

There are some things

You should know about me

I have a long list of names

And a bad history

I'll try to explain here

Everything you need to know

So maybe we can flourish

And I can let us grow

I tend to push away

The people that I love the most

So they don't become entangled

With my inner ghosts

You can't let me do that

Gotta make me stay

Never let me try

And up and run away

I'm truly terrified of

Giving up control

I wanna have the cards

Keep them in my hold

Never let me close up

Remind me that you're always there

Show me it's okay

To open up and share

This is a wild ride

We're shooting in the dark

This'll never be easy

Hell, this ain't a park

So there are some things

That you need to know

Hold me in your grasp

Never let me go

Remind me that I'm yours

And that you're here to stay

Pull me back in

If I get scared and run away

Tell me to never bottle up

And let the anger out

Be there to listen to me

When I need to scream and shout

I wanna be with you

Until we're grey and old

Watch our own kids

Go through their years of gold

I know I'm fucked up

That I'm a broken mess

But with you by my side

I'll get through all of this

I love you so much

Never wanna see you go

So let's walk down this road

And see all the places it'll show.
