Please Live
August 2, 2011
I’ll take your words,
I’ll take your pain,
If I knew that in the end
you’d be okay.
I’ll bear your burden
I’ll live with your regrets
And I’ll let you be
completely selfish.
I’ll take the broken pieces
of your heart
you can’t bear to keep
so you can mend.
I’ll hold my breath
for as long as it takes
so you can breathe the oxygen
I misplace.
Leave it to me
I’ll hold your hand
and if you choose to push me away
then I swear I’ll be okay
I’ll keep the broken parts of you
even as you pull away
knowing that all I really want is
for
you
to
stay.
