Within My Hands

You almost made me laugh But instead, I just yelled It’s almost funny But instead, it’s enraging Such a petty plot To lead me from my path Why couldn’t you just give up? Now instead, driven wedge You once had control But now you are left weak Just leave me alone And leave us two be What’s your plan? (All within my hands) Do you think you can? (Fall within my hands) Just go away. (Stand tall within my hands) And stay away. (So small within my hands) You gave me no hints So I ran, no surprise But what confuses me Is how I had to guess Perhaps I wasn’t clear I severed to save you You know it would just sting worse Oh, but now, you cling on. And you crawl within my… Hands. I’m in control! You know I am, no matter how strong! I’ll never give up! It’s how I am, no matter how strong! Just give up. (Shatter within my hands) It’s just getting sad. (Vanish within my hands) I saved you then. (Implode within my hands) Don’t make it worse. (Explode with my hands) I don’t want to hurt. Just go away, please. Before it gets worse, Don’t cry within my hands.
