Lay over me
Shelter me for tonight
Absorb all of my poisons and
Protect me from the pollutants
Of the outside world
Though I will find a way in time
To ruin everything we have built up
Simply because
I can't hold on
To anything
This Good

 thank you for the compliment, but I would like to say that i'm sure that you deserve any and every good thing that ever happens to you. I don't know you, but I do know that everybody deserves the good things in their lives. Just wanted to say that. Thanks for reading!!!!

this is absolutely beautiful and it makes me think of myself not being able to hold onto the good things because i think i don't deserve them. i love your imagery and the emotions you convey, very very good work ! (:
