Cheer Up Cheer Down

during the night I give your body a squeeze
appreciative of the absence of fear
that you will indecorously leave

I hold your hand the whole movie
so you don't bite your nails 

you told me I'm weird but that you liked it

you call me in that fidgety, frantic distress
wanting a makeshift cocktail

said you really needed me

and not for cheering up
