give me some fire to play with <br /> don't let me burn you <br /> I need to burn sometimes, you see... <br /> but don't let me get you involved <br />don't say you're anxious <br /> if you're really so dissolved <br /> <br />give me a river to walk across <br /> don't let me get your new clothes all wet <br /> you're already so established, <br /> and I need to test my heart <br />don't say today is perfect <br /> if you've ripped yourself apart <br /> <br />give me a bell to ring <br /> don't let me ring too loud <br /> I just need some time to celebrate, <br /> but you have to get some sleep <br />don't say you'll make a promise <br /> that you know you'll never keep <br /> <br />give me some money to waste <br /> don't let me be so frivolous with love <br /> don't unlock me if you're scared to <br /> but let me create myself <br />don't expect to hear my voice <br /> if your heart's up on a shelf <br /> <br />give me my destiny to attach to yours <br /> don't let this time go unused <br /> I always feel badly worked and bruised, <br /> just a ghost against your youth <br />don't ever put on a mask at me <br /> (pure sugar aches the tooth) <br />don't say we have forever <br /> if you can't give me the truth<br /><br />Scott Stevenson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/give-me-the-truth/
