What Will You Tell Me?

May 15, 2019

If I've fallen

and I can't get up

will you save me?

Will you help me to stay strong?

If I've fallen

off the edge of the earth

will you help me?

Will you tell me

that you love me and you care for me?

Will you tell me

that you won't hurt me anymore?

Will you tell me

that you've had enough?

Or, will you tell me,

that you'll carry me home?
