Please be gentle

I don’t think I can handle it again

Be gentle

I’m out of glue

And thread

And whiskey,

But mainly glue

I can’t mend myself

And fix the holes people have left

Be gentle

Your hands crafted me

You fixed me

God damn that’s unhealthy,

I don’t depend on you

I need you

Be gentle

If you drop me

Set me in the grass

Where I can watch the world pass

Where it’s soft

The lush grass can hold me

But I’d prefer you,

If you drop me

Go to the top

The top of the highest

And I mean highest

F***ing building you can find

Hurl me at the Earth

Send me home

If you drop me

Shatter me

Shatter me into little f***ing pieces

I don’t want to go on

Spread my ashes in the wind

Throw them in the river

Dissolve me

If you drop me

Smash me into little pieces

Step on me

You already do it enough

Destroy me

I know it’s what you’re capable of

Please be gentle

I need your love

I’m out of beer

And weed

And all the other drugs

But you’re still here

Be gentle

You know I don’t cry

But for you I’d shed a million tears

Incinerate me

I can’t replace the warmth you give me

I’d rather burn hotter than the sun

Than be locked out in the cold

please be gentle
