Please Hold Me Tight
By: Michelle Leatherbury

Please hold me tight,
Don't ask questions,
Just do what's right.

Please hold me tight,
I'm very scared inside,
And, in depth of fright.

Please hold me tight,
When I feel like hurting myself,
And, cannot see the light.

Please hold me tight,
Tell me you love me,
And, tell me I'll be alright.

Grasp

Something more informal,
Than a firm handshake,
Nothing so romantic as a kiss,
No words to fill my heart,
For that priviledge is only his.
Lean forward,
To the right,
Open your arms,
And grasp me tight,
Be a friend when I need one,
For if you hold me I'll feel alright.

My days seemed numbered,
As my end seems close,
And it's too vast a space,
That I'm standing in.
I need you to make a promise,
It'll be a pretty hard one to keep,
Just promise that you'll be close,
To give me a hug,
And that as I begin to lose my grasp on reality,
You will not lose your grasp on me.

Let's wait for more participants, and then, I will make my judgments. Thanks for participating~!~

Final Grasp, Last Embrace

I feel like crying right now, but you can't see
Exactly what is bothering me
But I knew one day this bond was going to end
Although I still know we're more than just friends

What happened to us? Where have we gone?
I do not know what time has done
But right now we both need hugs
We are the only ones that can give them
So go ahead and whisper

I remember those words you said, they still ring in my head
"I'll never, I can't give up because I have you"
I wish I could smile, I really do
The first tear trickles down my cheek

I know a lot of things, but this isn't one
How do I say something if I'm not allowed to speak
As you turn your head to another direction
Silence starts to brawl
In my head I remember-this is what happened to us all

I place my arms on your shoulders
Grow as tall as I can
Now I know that all of this is
The almost perfect plan

I caress your cheek, look in your eyes
I see you too have started to cry
I give you that final embrace
In the end I know
It all falls into place

T'm Tired
By †Anthony†

I'm tired of the tears!
Too many seen and shed for my lifetime,
16 years on a planet,
And your tears could fill a lake.
I'm tired the pain!
Everyday filled with aching memories,
Everyday, longing to die.
Giving up, no longer trying.
I'm tired of feeling!
Wishing, Praying, Hoping, Longing,
Just to go numb and forget,
Just to be free of these chains.
I'm alone, and I'm scared,
I'm hurt, and I'm weak,
I'm still crying, and there's
Still no one to hug me.
No one can break my heart anymore.
It's in pieces too small to divide.
I'm tired of being afraid,
Afraid to be alone,
Afraid to live,
Afraid to die,
Afraid to say "I love you"
I'm tired of feeling like I don't belong,
But still, these feelings are trapped,
Trapped inside me.
No matter how much I write,
They won't go away.
For the first time I wish...
Someone would stay,
And I can lie in their arms,
And feel... Like I'm safe.

Hold me

Hold me now, as the light begins to fade,
MY eyes are losing, the wonderful shade of jade.
Hold me please, as the tears fall down,
My eyes feel as if they are going to drown.

Hold me close, as I tell you my fears,
Let me wet you shoulder, with my tears.
Hold me tight, never let go,
Make my knees feel like jello

Hold me up, no matter how much I want to fall,
And talk to me for hours, when it's you that I call.
Hold me, and say you'll never leave me again,
Try to cheer me up, and make me jolly.

Please just hold me...

*Yeah this might not be exactly what you mean, but hold me is like hugging isn't it?*
