In Exile
Grasping at straws
Held up in the clause
Reaching out
Not wanting to pout
But you came here
Something I feared
I don't need it
I don't want it
I can't have it
Let me throw my fit
Leave me be
You shouldn't see
I am fragile and weak
Trying not to break
But when you're here
I tremble in fear
And I can't control
Anything I want to hold
