The story doesn't have to end

Talk me through it

Show me you care

Help me back

 

;

Do you know what this is?

It's a semi colon

Used when you meant to end something

But decided to continue

 

Be my ;

Just let me know

That everything is gong to be ok

Tell me its okay to put down the blade

 

Pull me back

From the ledge

Band-Aid

The wound

 

Tell me I'm okay

Tell me we all break

And that sometimes

We all nee to snap

 

Say this isn't the end

Say my story continues

And that all i need is

A semi colon
