BUT MAKE ME NOT FALL


Hold me under many galaxies
And let us watch each cloud pass our gaze
In their hasty shapeless forms

.But make me not fall.

playground of innocence
let us climb the trees of play
And pluck the fruits of childish victory

.but make me not fall.

Fall into these deepest fountains of emotions
Streaming in your eyes as I look down at you
Washing away my strengths by unlacing Every iota of strength
Tying my heart in it stern place.
Sometimes being strong is only being weak

.But please make me not fall.

Maybe we could climb the mountains behind the forbidden forests
and search for the adventures we always talk about at midnight
to see if we can create our own wonderland
but when our parents come searching for us
let us ...let us run faster
to catch up with them in distance

.but make me not fall.

Even when my limbs cannot hold
Let me not fall
O make me not fall
Fly me over these swift currents
And the distance covered may it not be merged
For if it does my weakness may make me fall

and at the end
we shall be silent
The scars from the fall
tattooed on our hands
would be a guide to prevent us from falling

.make me not fall.

your hands should guide me.
