I Won't Stop You... Just Wait

Wait.

No, don't stop.

I'm not here to get in your way.

Just wait... and listen.

You can cry all you want,

I won't stop you

You can throw a tantrum and break things,

I won't care

But before you shed your tears

Which are enough to fill the ocean

And before you claim, "It's not fair!"

To people in worse situations

Before you break your mirror

To match your shattered and broken heart

And before you shout at the sky

Hoping the heavens would hear

Before you wear yourself out

And make yourself miserable

And before you close your eyes at night

To sleep away the pain

Listen.

You can make the decision to take your own life

I won't stop you

You can give up on fighting for your future

I won't care

But consider my words and, for a bit,

Just wait.

Wait for the hand

That reaches out to you

Wanting to be your anchor

So that you fear the storm no more

Wait for the eyes

That can see straight into your soul

Yet don't flinch or shy away

But accept all that they see

Wait for the heart

The one that you gave away

A broken and shattered gift

That is now fixed, beautiful and whole

Wait for the soul

The one that belongs with you

The one that will light up your eyes

And give your life meaning again

You can leave this world

I won't stop you

You can end it all

I won't care

But wait...

Please, wait for me.
