Hold Me Close And Go Away
Hold me close and go away
Please visit me and please don't stay
Talk to me but please don't speak
I need you NOW, come back next week
Emotions muddled,needs unknown
To be with others or on my own?
To scream out loud? To rant and shout?
Or hide away and push you out?
I smile at you- "she's not that bad"
I shout at you-"she's going mad"
I speak to you- "what do I say?"
I show my tears- "quick walk away"
It's not catching, the grief I feel
I can't pretend that it's not real
I carry on as best I know
But this pain inside just wont go
So true friends,please, accept the lot
I shout, I cry, I lose the plot
I don't know what I need today
So hold me close and go away.
I found this poem on another web site and was stunned at how true to life the words are.
