Hold Me Tight

Hold Me Tight

Hold me tight -

not like a lover,

not like a promise you plan to keep,

but like someone who knows

what it feels like

to fall apart quietly

in a room full of people

who never notice.

There are nights

when the weight of being

is heavier than it should be,

when silence turns sharp

and memory feels like glass

pressed against my skin.

And I don’t need fixing.

I don’t need saving.

I need a hand,

not to lead me out,

but to sit with me

in the dark.

We are all carrying things

we never named,

ghosts of moments

we pretended didn’t matter.

And some aches

live too deep for words.

They hum beneath the surface,

waiting for the quiet

to remind us they’re still there.

So if you can -

hold me tight.

Like you mean it.

Like you understand

that even if the world

never gets softer,

there is mercy

in a steady hand

and a heart

that doesn’t ask for explanations.

Because sometimes

the bravest thing we do

is not letting go,

but holding on

to someone

who still believes

we're worth the weight.

A rather powerful exploration of vulnerability, loneliness, and the human need for connection. the most important thing sometimes is just presence and empathy in difficult times.

The language is evocative and raw, capturing the emotions of fear, isolation, and the struggle to find solace amidst the chaos of life. The burden of unspoken pain, and the courage it takes to reach out for support is coming through quite well in this piece. the sad part is as time are moving fast ahead, this holding on is the one growing absent from society, thank you for sharing

I love the fact that you always understand my poems so well and that you take the time to read and leave a comment, I'm more than grateful for that, really :)

I think everyone has chaos in their life but it's just that some learn to love and live with it more easily, and some can go through it alone while others need someone to sit with them in all the chaos that they are, so they can feel a little appreciated even when they feel like they don't deserve it.

Thanks for your comment :)
