Come Closer...

Come closer, 
Closer than you've ever been,
I need you now, for these tears will stream,
Come closer, 
Close enough for my heart to beat,
I need you more than ever, just say I'm not weak.

Why can't I live in a world where I am strong, 
I want to live without feeling everything I am is wrong, 
I'm sure I've been like this all my life,
For my memories are tarnished in time.

Please,
Come closer,
Close like you've never held me in your arms before,
Come closer,
Close enough that you take my pain to understand more.

Let me cry on your shoulder, 
All that I want is to know you're there,
Stop me feeling a little colder,
Let my tears fall in your coconut hair.

My obesity won't allow anybody in, 
I've told myself my own body is a sin,
If I don't feel worthy of my own self, 
How the hell can I expect any help! 
My patterns are all self destructive, 
I've told myself I need to be productive,
If I don't feel happy falling asleep, 
How the hell am I suppose to breathe. 

Come closer, 
Closer than you've ever been,
I need you now, for these tears will stream,
Come closer, 
Close enough for my heart to beat,
I need you more than ever, just say I'm not weak.

Tomorrow is a new day for me, 
Thank you, 
Thanks for coming closer and setting me free, 
Tomorrow I'm going to feel brand new, 
Thank you, 
Thanks for your heart and just being you, 

But for now, 
This night, 
This moment, 
Just come closer...
