I hold you tightly.

I hold you tightly because I'm scared.
Scared of what might happen to me if I let go.
I hold you tightly because I'm tired.
Tired of holding myself, and glad so have someone else do the job.
I hold you tightly because I'm pulled to you.
Pulled to you by some unknown gravity.
I hold you tightly because I'm weak.
Too weak to breathe, too weak to sleep.
I hold you tightly because I can.
I never have the energy to do anything else but that.
I hold you tightly because I'm falling.

And I cling to you, as you are my last hope.
