If You Ask Me
February 7, 2016
Boulders make the rocks feel small
but just a stone made a giant fall
and in our recent years you’ve fallen
quite hard.
Never altered my largest love
or tossed curses at you from above
’cause I always knew the change
would be your heart.
I am the best of what
you need me to be.
I will promise to stay
if you ask me.
My arrival was in perfect time
to take your world and make it mine
like a queen who needs a kingdom
to reign.
Until you realized, counting battle scars,
the throne and crown were always ours,
to pass around until the other was
strong again.
I am the best of what
you need me to be.
I will promise to stay
if you ask me.
So ask me in confidence on your own
if I’ll wear the crown while you take the throne,
after all these years at war with
each other.
And ask me in silence when all is right
and tell me in the middle of every fight
after all I can’t be replaced by
another.
I am the best of what
you need me to be.
I will promise to stay
if you ask me.
