should i step away, my fake converse squeaking, rub my hands together- a bad end to a good day. don't scare me don't scare me don't scare me you're scaring me i wouldn't mind/if you came a little closer held me a little higher spoke a little gentler i make my wish, out of habit. i wonder who will make it come true. you welcome me to this town, walking, skating backwards holding my hands, a common soldier. i am soft, on one side, the other side sharp, your blood drying on me. you find me funny, don't you? stumbling fast, slow recovery. don't scare me don't scare me don't scare me you're scaring me
