Keep Me Close


Ma, keep me close

i know things havent always been easy for us

from the trailer to the house to the neighborhood

we have never let anyone stop us

we fight

we bicker

we argue

becuase we are so alike

i love you above all else

and im afraid

afraid that ill lose you one day

and i know its coming

and im mean somtimes

but its fear

all you have to remember 

is that i love

YOU

so ma

Hold me close please and never let go
