Understand


If I cry, will you stay to dry my tears?

If I lash out, will you stay until I am calm?

If I disappear, will you look for me?

I feel as if I’m asking a lot from you,

And I can only hope,

                                     wish,

                                                 pray,

That you’ll understand. 

Understand that I am complex,

Understand that I am just human,

Understand that I'll break

Understand that I need you,

                             want you

Please,

Understand
