did or did not

i’m just a blur of words
i don’t think you hear me
but i want you to call
and i want to feel your arms
wrap them tightly around me and don’t let go
i promise i won’t hold onto my fears
just don’t let go of me
and i won’t let go of you

there are enough blankets on this bed
to keep us warm for hours
and if the windows break like hearts
the cold air can’t break through
we’re an airtight seal of skin
and our coats keep us warm
oh hold me.
get me through the night.

i need to fall asleep
knowing someone would be sad
if tomorrow i didn’t wake up
