Tell me when you need me
for i'll walk a mile or two
to retain your trembling hands,
sweaty and dreadful.
Tell me when you need me
for i'll give you a look of impudence,
reflect your modesty through my eyes
carefully segregating the truths and the lies.
Tell me when you need me
for i'll catch you from falling
to levels of obscenity and self harm,
pick you up dusted and alarmed.
Tell me when you need me
for i'll bestow you with all my love
kiss you naked
let you explore.
But don't tell me when you love me
for vulnerability it breeds
time and again
tell me when you need me.
