This number is only going to do so much for me
It may have someone waiting to save me on the other end
But I don't have the courage to call
I feel like if I call
I'd just take another fall
Trying to call
Out for help.
That asking for help will just be a burden to others
While another
Is okay for reaching out
But I think that this number will help
But then again
Numbers are numbers
I need something more than digits signifying the way I may continue my life
I need more than something
More than this
I need your address so instead of calling
I can come
Instead of feeling like a burden
I can be held in your arms
Because I need you
