Rolled Up In a Ball

Don't let me go
Don't make me stay
Just go away for now
But hold me closer
Hand in hand with good
But holding bad up on your shoulder
Like a child
Hiding left from right
And eyes from mind
You don't know where you're head is
Now love and feelings
Are just memories.
Little footsteps
Proving that someone
Was there when you fell
But the bruises on your back
Prove that no one caught you
The words that tumble
Effortlessly out of your mouth
As your eyes look away
Avoiding anything for too long
Are false and flattery
Assumptions of when everything is foggy
That someone will move
Towards the unfamiliar light.
The bruises on yout back are hurting
So you look for something cold
To help the wounds
Too bad everything cold is cold hearted
And sting where you apply
Apparently my touch is healing
Though I'm not sure
Exactly what you're feeling
Too bad I've already got a home
On a heart wrapped up with mine
Don't let me stay
Don't make me go
Hold me close for now
But go farther away from me
