Don't pull me through

There’s a weight in me no one names

A hush that echoes louder than pain

I wear calm like it’s tailored skin

But it hides the hole, I’m breaking in

I speak in smiles no one reads

A language lost between my needs

I sink beneath a familiar sight

And pray that silence holds me right

---

Don't tell me it'll pass, don’t feed me light

I don’t need hope, I just need a night

Where I can fall apart and still be held

Not fixed—just felt

---

Cover me… I’m not okay

Hold me like I’m not in the way

Don’t ask me why, just stay

Even if I push, don't go away

Cover me… in your quiet space

When the world forgets my face

Cover me like I'm worth saving

Even when I’m breaking

---

There’s a riot humming beneath my chest

A thousand thoughts that never rest

I brace for kindness like a storm

Too many soft hands turned to harm

I map the bruises left in my mind

Little ruins I pretend to find

Beautiful—like they meant something

But pain rarely leaves meaning

---

Don't dress it up in silver lines

Just meet me in these twisted vines

I don’t need sunshine—I need your spine

To lean on mine

---

Cover me… I’m not okay

Hold me like I’m not in the way

Don’t ask me why, just stay

Even if I push, don't go away

Cover me… in your quiet space

When the world forgets my face

Cover me like I'm worth saving

Even when I’m breaking

---

If I vanish in the quiet—would you feel it?

If I cracked beneath the calm—would you hear it?

Don’t speak in poetry, don’t draw a path

Just stay beside me—I don’t need the math

I want to cry in the rhythm of breath

Held in a silence deeper than death

No words, just presence, still and true

I don’t have to survive—just be with you

---

Cover me… when the world recedes

When I’m nothing but unraveling seams

Hold me close when I come undone

Don’t try to fix—don’t make me run

Cover me like a sacred vow

Like I’m worth the weight I carry now

Cover me—don’t pull me through

Just let me not be alone… with you
