When It Falls

You have to go.

I have to stay.

You can live on.

But I will die here.

The sky will fall.

The ground will crash.

You have to run.

And I will stay here.

I will be waiting.

No hesitating.

Don't wait for me.

Wait, and you'll see.

Death will come

And it won't hesitate.

You have to run.

Be brave for those

Who cannot stand at all.

Give them the gift

Of strength,

Just like I gave it you.

Take what I taught you.

You can take my place

Here on this broken heart.
