Love me now

If those steel doors close and those bars entrap you Who will be there?Your parents?Your friends?Your lovers?Who will love you?Who will write you lettersWho will wait?Who? Who will hold on to every minute behind the glass and hang on to every second on the phone?Who will love you when the days are long and blurred?When the walls seem to close in as time goes by? Who will forfeit the satisfaction of their body for the satisfaction of your pride?Who will ache for you?For your love and companionship Who will give you the time you so recklessly took for granted?Who will weep for you? Who will pray?Who will make their love timeless for you?Who will make those sacrifices? Who? Who will share your burden and embrace the pain in your words,the regret in your face, the shame in your eyes?Who will accept the mistakes you've made, while you hadn't a thought of that person while you were making them ?who?Who will break their heart for you? Who will shatter themselves to fill your missing pieces? Who will be your peace?Who?Who will be your light? Who will be your window? Your freedomWho will be your hope?Without a job or a childWho will be your dream?Who will pick your chin up and hold your head up high?Who will smile for you when you can't muster the strength to? Who?Do not leave your home for an empty mansionDo not leave home because you have not cleaned it and then realize that every house does not give you that same warmth. The grass may look greener on the other side but my lawn withers faster because of the oil beneath its surfaceLove me now. Do not wait.
