Chase Me

Chase me
chase me to the end of the cliff
force me to jump
or fall back into your arms
give me an ultimatum
force me to make a choice
don't let me give up
don't let me give you up
fight for me


months later
you fight for me
you chase me to the edge
and confused, and hurt
I jump...
away from your welcoming arms
