I carried within my clenched hands;
too afraid to spill a single drop
because it is all that I ever have.
Pinpricks crawl across my skin
as numbness settles in
on my tightly clenched fists.
My eyes staring down on my
limbs too sore from gripping too tight,
as I struggled my way across the town.
Then I stumbled and fell
across the foot you stuck out,
and caught my hands in yours
just in the nick of time,
to keep them all from spilling out
from the safety of your own hands.
I'm just a girl from the city
You came to me like cavalry
Now all I want is to hold you now
I've been saving my soul
for someone like you.
