Just don't leave. Don't leave

For Tyler Hartley

If ever you fall far and fast and
if ever you break, shatter, and grieve...
Just don’t leave.  Don’t leave.
 
If ever I loved you true,
like nobody has ever loved nobody,
If ever I showed you what I longed for
and then slammed the door...
If ever I handed you off to someone named Steve,
Just don’t leave.  Don’t leave.
 
If ever I begged for your harp,
and wanted your love to come sounding in sharp as razors...
If ever I called out your name and whimpered like a beat pup,
I am just saying these things to let you know what’s up.
I am thirsty– there’s nothing left in my cup.
You can tell me when to stop.
Just don’t leave.  Don’t leave.
