All Or Nothing
Call me home
Or not at all
For I can’t take
Another fall;
Engrave your name
Into my bones
Or leave me naked
And alone;
Let me inside
Or keep me out
For kind facades
I’ll do without,
For it is better
That I know
If you will stay
Or if you’ll go –
To live a life
Apart from mine
And choose a different
Path to find;
So let me read
The final part
Of truth within
Your open heart,
Despite the fear
Of losing more
And falling down
Just like before.
