Steal me if you must
to keep my soul alive.
But when the fires bust,
Don't question where I arrive.
-
Darken my days with nights
If only for your love.
But when I beg for rights,
Don't question the skies above.
-
Be my every stall
If you breathe on my death.
And when I don't remember at all,
Don't question my lost breath.
-
Steal me if you feel,
If you cannot handle some goodbyes.
But when I cease to try to deal,
Don't question my submissive eyes.
