Hands
the only thing
that i will ask
is if you can fulfill
this single task
may i have
your hand to hold
for yours are warm
and mine are cold
it would brighten
every day
if yes is
what you say
if you decline
by saying no
then i will simply
have to go
for what is there left
if you decline
i will never
say you're mine
please say yes
for i think and i wonder
if it will kill your fears
of this frightening thunder
since i'll be there
you'll have nothing to fear
never again
will you shed a tear
and you know me well
i would not lie
i'm only a boy
who is very shy
i wish to tell you
but i'm afraid
what if will you leave me
in this shade
this shade of
lonelieness cold and despair
if you say no
then i'll know you don't care
so if you say no
please say it fast
then i will know
that i will not last
for my life without you
cannot be my life
and i'd much rather use
this large, sharp knife
to stick in my heart
and it won't hurt more
it'll hurt less
that's what life has in store
a broken heart
is the worst pain
it's so much worse
then being left in the rain
all alone
only to die
as i wonder
"but why"
am i
over doing it
maybe i should
stop and quit
i don't we have
a destiny
but what will happen
what will be
if you say yes
to be with me
so i guess i should ask
it's only a question
but this should make
for a good lesson
but i know it's wrong
to risk our friendship
but it would be worth it
to kiss you on the lips
just to know
that you'll be mine
it will feel
good at every time
so i should ask
if your hands i can hold
i'll take the chance
guess now's the time to be bold
