Prison gates won’t open up for me
On these hands and knees I’m crawlin’
Oh, I reach for you, well I’m terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can’t hold my soul in
All I need is you, come please, I’m callin’
And, oh, I scream for you
Hurry, I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’
Show me what it’s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I’ll show you what I can be
Say it for me, say it to me
And I’ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it’s worth saving me
Heaven’s gates won’t open up for me
With these broken wings I’m fallin’ and all I see is you
These city walls ain’t got no love for me
I’m on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And, oh, I scream for you come please,
I’m callin’ and all I need from you, hurry, I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’
Show me what it’s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I’ll show you what I can be
Say it for me, say it to me
And I’ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it’s worth saving me
Hurry, I’m fallin’
And all I need is you
Come please, I’m callin’
And, oh, I scream for you
Hurry, I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’
Show me what it’s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I’ll show you what I can be
And say it for me, say it to me
And I’ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it’s worth saving me, hurry, I’m fallin’
Say it for me, say it to me
And I’ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it’s worth saving me

I thought you would be the one
That whenever I screamed
You would come
Fight against my demons
& save me
But now my eyes are open
I can clearly see
You cant save yourself
So how can you rescue me?
You watched on
As I was falling
Only your deaf ears
Never heard me calling
Open drawers
empty corners
wounded by love
i am falling in
the chartreuse light
Of your eyes
rhythmic rise
my broken heart
sunflower scent
a wellspring of chance
binds the wreck
of my hope
help me rejoice in
the quintessence of
midsummer sounds.
Your chills move across me
fading I try to stay
such a look you gift
taking mine home alone.
Days bankrupt our final words
tunnel visioning beautiful
stay will you baby
why would you leave.
Time we have transient
born from Sol we hurry
our lives keeping love
taking yours home too.
I live the way you make use of personification my friend…this is an awesome write.
Thank you so very much, Abuh.
Have you
Every thought
About what
I’d be like
To be the
last one standing
Life it a gift
We understand this
Live your life
Like you just
Found out
You’re next
But if you
Do a kindness
You will
Still exist
How could
You resist…….
Namaste 🙏
This is good my friend….and you forgot to add your signature, just breathe. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece my friend.
Darn you are right my friend- well here ya go JUST BREATHE guys 🤗❤️ And I invited two! 👏👏👏👏
For you are
The one to save me
Feathers & stone
A heart of gold
Warm and soft touch
For you heal the heart
A woman’s sweetness
Makes love complete
Her beauty unique
