Do Not Disturb

Please come close but don’t disturb

The pain that lurks inside my chest

Where there are scars that cannot heal

And demons that refuse to rest

Please come close but hold on tight

There is never peace for very long

The voices tend to get too loud

The feelings always get too strong

Please come close but you should know

This isn’t someplace people stay

It’s haunted by the memories

Of the people that I drove away

Please come close but watch your step

My pain could cause you to fall

So please come close but guard yourself

Or maybe don’t come close at all
