Wait and See

A Twilight Poem

.

Will you still hold me like I'm your son

Even after I confess I'm not perfect?

Will you still look at me the same way

Even after I tell you I've committed a crime?

Will you love me with everlasting love

That I surely don't deserve?

.

Can I give you everything you need

Even when you don't need anything but me?

Can I find the courage to stay

When my instincts are screaming "RUN!"?

Can I hold myself together

Because without you, I fall apart

.

Will you ever forgive me for what I've done

Or will I forever be evil in your eyes?

Will you ever regard me as equal

Or will I forever be below you?

Will you break what trust you have in me

Or will you stay true to your word?

.

Can you learn to let go

Even when it's like letting a part of yourself die?

Can you let the past stay in the past

Or will you always treat the past like the present?

Can you persuade me to stop

What I know needs to be done?

I guess I'll have to wait and see…

Wait and see...
