I Need You
Please be gentle
I don’t think I can handle it again
Be gentle
I’m out of glue
And thread
And whiskey,
But mainly glue
I can’t mend myself
And fix the holes people have left
Be gentle
Your hands crafted me
You fixed me
God damn that’s unhealthy,
I don’t depend on you
I need you
Be gentle
If you drop me
Set me in the grass
Where I can watch the world pass
Where it’s soft
The lush grass can hold me
But I’d prefer you,
If you drop me
Go to the top
The top of the highest
And I mean highest
F***ing building you can find
Hurl me at the Earth
Send me home
If you drop me
Shatter me
Shatter me into little f***ing pieces
I don’t want to go on
Spread my ashes in the wind
Throw them in the river
Dissolve me
If you drop me
Smash me into little pieces
Step on me
You already do it enough
Destroy me
I know it’s what you’re capable of
Please be gentle
I need your love
I’m out of beer
And weed
And all the other drugs
But you’re still here
Be gentle
You know I don’t cry
But for you I’d shed a million tears
Incinerate me
I can’t replace the warmth you give me
I’d rather burn hotter than the sun
Than be locked out in the cold
please be gentle
