I'm scared that I'm going to mess this up,
Though that's the last thing that I want to do.
There's so much longing inside,
I don't know if I have the strength
To hold off/ to see things through.

Everyday the ache gets deeper,
More intense, harder to bear.
So how do I reign it in,
Before I lose control?
Lose it all?

Every song is a nail in my heart,
Hope spirals out of control,
But I squash it when it starts.
There are things I need,
And my traitorous mind has me believe,
It's better to have nothing,
Than something in between.

I don't want to settle for less than I need,
But I can't walk away, I'll perish if I leave.
You are the air that sustains me.
My happy place when the world wants to break me.
The only thing that's kept me alive,
When I'm seduced with suicide on lonely nights.

You're my anchor,
My angel with no halo,
No wings.
But what do I do when an angel,
Is not enough to temper,
The demon in me?
Do I squash the lingering need?
Or break myself in search of this elusive thing?

"to hold off/ (to) see things through"

The rest is emotional and the specific word arrangement changes per person. Another catharsis, with polish could inspire others, if that's a desire of yours.
