Be gentle with me
I am fragile from the past
I am fragile from tomorrow
Touch me with softer intentions
Than you’ve ever touched anyone
And this is the only way
That I will melt within your palm
Be gentle with your words
My heart was stitched up poorly
And the seams are worn
Stretching my hope too regularly
Believing in too many ghost
That only came to haunt me
The moment I thought they were gone
Be gentle with my soul
For it has seen darkness
And invited her to tea
My soul found beauty
In creaky floorboards
And mysterious silhouettes
Lounging in destruction and emptiness
My soul has loved darkness
And things I love
Have stayed with me
Long after they had left
So be gentle with my love
Share your light in my dark
Light a candle when you come home
And find me within the shadows
Becoming one with the night
Be gentle with yourself
Because you deserve softness
You deserve love that comes and stays
You deserve encouragement
You deserve tenderness
And I will be gentle with all of you
Because I have the softest intentions
My hands will always
Be pillows for your heart
And my body
Will always be a warm home
Welcoming your love
