They are always there in stories or tales,
always beside you.
Great lengths do they go for those they trust,
For them what would you do?
Screaming and begging and crying your acknowledgment!
Do you choose to listen?
Family may leave or fail,
but they will never forsake you.
Lovers come and go as they must
For them what would you do?
Whispering and faltering and mumbling in your presence…
Will your pace hasten?
All that is said, though it hurts like a nail,
are in the best intentions for you.
Until you realize they’re left in the dust,
For them what would you do?
