You hold me in a tight embrace,
--tighter, tighter
You squeeze my hand laced with yours,
--tighter, tighter

You say that you care
You smile
A light smile
You press your lips together,
--tighter, tighter

You say that you’re sorry
You frown
A deep frown
I cling to you,
--tighter, tighter

I pinch my eyes shut,
--tighter, tighter
I grasp the space left by your missing body,
--tighter, tighter
