and live instead of die
Don't
take that bullet for me and
pretend it's love's fault
Don't
suffer in silence for me and
blame love's turbulence
Don't
ask me to never change so
love can righteously rot
Don't
Love me like the stories say
and die inside - just live

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
