Contemplation

I think that what we all

Truly want from life

Is to find someone

Who will save us

 

So when we find someone

Who appears to be

What we think we need

We hold on to them

 

But sometimes

What we think we need

And what we really need

Are very different

 

And that hold becomes

Too tight of an embrace

And they get frightened

So they leave

 

And the scary part

Of all of this, is that

Sometimes when they leave

They don’t come back

"And that hold becomes

Too tight of an embrace

And they get frightened

So they leave"
