Echoes
What echoes in my mind?
Voices soft and sweet,
Trying to destroy
All this wretched heat.
Where is it I belong?
I know it isn’t here,
But where else can I go
To conceal all this fear.
Would you save my heart?
Keep me from destruction,
Or just hold my hand
When everything is done?
I could make it through,
With nothing at all,
I’ve done it before
And I’ve yet to fall.
But do I have to ask
For everything I get?
Couldn’t I just once
Be somebody’s pet?
Have somebody hold me,
Without any pain,
Or expectation
Or the need to explain?
