How Can I Give You A Hug?


 Wake me up at twelve o'clock 

I know you have reason to cry 

But it left me in a shock 

I hardly see this side of you 

I thought it was under lock 

Suppose it was all a ruse 

 Instantly I fully awoke 

 Hoping it wasn’t what I feared 

I listened to what you spoke 

My heart grew very heavy 

 As on your tears you did choke 

How could I help you my friend 

When we are so far apart? 

What could I do that would help? 

It was a great burden on my heart 

 How could I give you comfort 

 Over a late night phone call 

How could I give you a hug 

 When we have to be six feet apart

Heather The Tired Writer

Heyyy there~ I'm Heather. I'm tired. I'm still a minor (so to ~those~ accounts, leave me out of it please). And life is confusing. I am an amateur writer who mainly focuses on writing original stories, but I occasionally do some fanfiction and poetry. Aside from that, I am also a crappy artist, piano player, music student, and programmer. I also am a really big anime, musical, and animation in general nerd. The complete list of fandoms is waaay too long, so drop me a dm and ask if I enjoy the same thing you do (chances are, I do.) If you'd like to see more of me, you can follow me on...

Thanks for reading my profile! Have a wonderful day! With Love, ~Heather
