Hold me together,
when all seems like the emptiness in the wind,
Hold me together,
when all I am is at my tether's end,
And all I can do is watch from a distance as it all falls apart,
Hold me together,
That's all I ask in this stormy weather,
When all my being threatens to scatter,
and all I am is on the loose,
Hold me together,
for I have been here before,
And I cannot do it again,
Hold me together is all I can say,
Before I break into pieces,
So many I can't find the rest of me,
Hold me together is all I can say,
Bind me to myself,
Make me who I am,
Stick me to my beliefs,
Preach to me my gospel,
Tell me my name,
Say it out loud,
Hold me together so I do not come running,
Walking or crawling,
Hold me,
So hard I'll forget what you are,
What path you take,
Hold me together so I can be me again,
I lost myself once,
I shouldn't do it again,
I won't,
Hold me together,
That's what gift I give me today.
Love without tragedy,
Of rivers flowing,
With no falls,
Yet such behold more beauty,
Than what you once thought my face was,
The sadness that engulfs my heart,
Bigger,
Deeper,
Than the oceans,
And the seas,
Am I too deluded,
To wish for,
Hope for,
Pray for,
Believe in,
Soft petals,
And banded tuxedos,
White veils,
And lacy dresses,
Long to my feet,
Hiding all the sins,
We committed together,
The best years of my years,
Should be,
Would be,
Were meant to be,
Spent being your Marilyn Monroe.
In this day and age,
who bears a mole,
Black in all its darkness,
Brought me more brightness,
Than the long lacy dress,
Could ever bring me.
It tames all,
In the wildness that surrounds me,
But leaves you out.
Love does not die twice.
Nothing compares,
To all I have done already,
Hide myself,
Hide my heart,
Dance to tunes only I know,
Only I can hear,
Amidst whispers,
In my arms you sway,
In my fingers you slip away,
Though I am no more,
I'm your Marilyn Monroe.
