sit here, tempt, try lines, smiles and uncertainties,
truth tangled in the question of the why behind the reasons i
understand that you will run and hide away, but understand,
i am uncertain why but i must stay, that i can conceive
not of a single thing that could possibly make me leave you alone
i want to get to know you, break through  the way that you think that you are stone
through the cold, break through all the strangleholds
that tighten tick by tick, inch by neck bruising inch
i want to see you breathe, i want to see you set free
but tonight i feel your pain, and great though it will be
i do not leave.
