if you'll have me
i will bleed as an open sore

i will do my best to carry you
if you'll have me

i do not know all of you yet
but i want to

if you'll have me.

i hope i do not fail, for my sake and for yours.

i tell myself you're nothing that can be taken.
i have not made you up.
but i will pick you up
with my heavy, heavy arms,
and carry you,
as far as you'll have me.
