let me down easy

you never fail to

let me down

in times of needing you

oh, how i need you

i reach out my fingertips

reaching for something

i can't touch

connection, solidarity, understanding, empathy?

i wish i didn't need you

but i suppose i'll stop reaching.

let go of the ache in my arms

the numbing of my fingertips

instead, i'll hold onto myself

keep myself warm

i get cold easily

in the winter storm

i'll let you be the one

to reach out her arm

struggling to hold on

to something she can't touch.
