Scream at me if you must
Hate me if you have to
But don't give up on me
Keep talking
Stand with me in the fire
Stephen Pursell, late 1998
Work with me
The real you
Let's hold on and keep dancing
Help me learn to accept you
Listen to the note of my love
I hate these voices between us
Help me cut them away
I hate this
And fight back to place where we connect
I love you, I love you
To remember what matters
I want to know how
Help keep me humble
Come be whole with me
So I'm reaching for you
I have them too
And maybe truly shouldn't
What if it's something you need freedom from?
A face of you I do not know how to love
In my imperfection, sometimes I only see
But it's hard
I am trying to let you do the same
I am trying to live what I believe
While leaving room to grow
To allow what I believe to deepen, fill out
