if you let me

i’ll change your life.

if you let me,

will bring the dead back to life

dance across the oceans

drink wine before it breathes.

if you let me,

the sun will always rise

you’ll always have someone to hold

the dice will always roll seven.

if you let me,

i’ll burn down these walls

cover up the still with life

chase the hounds that howl away our dreams.

if you don’t,

the park will be empty

a frisbee left on roof

the street light will flicker

and the still will command.
