Run! Hold on!

A short poem about the toughness of peer pressure in a relationship

Run! Run! Run! Run from love!
Run! Run! Run! Run for your life!
You're looking at me like you've got something to say
but you're just standing there
with your mouth wide open
and not counting on you, I'm not counting on you
because I'm in my own world
but it's alright they know me here
and as you know she's always near.
The touch of a button.
The quietest whisper.
The loudest scream.
The smallest suspicion,
and she'll be right here...too!
Facing up to you and everything you try to do.
Counting on me, I know you're counting on me
to bite back at the bait
start the fight, ATTACK!!
but just wait....
holding on, we won't stop holding on to each other, one another.
Your mother.
The other.
You smother.
The lover.
So come on down and we'll drag you from where you are to where you belong.
Hold on, hold on...
to the end of the song....
