Why should I bend
When you stay brittle
Your love a riddle
With half the clues gone
Why should I chase
When you keep stalling
Your echoes calling
From rooms you never enter
Why should I glow
When you stay shaded
Your effort faded
Like chalk in the rain
Why should I climb
When you keep sinking
Your doubts linking
To every step I take
Why should I fight
When you stay hiding
Your heart dividing
Each promise in two
Why should I try
If you won’t
But I do
And the truth
Cuts clean
I’m breaking my back
To build what you break
I’m giving the love
You forget to make
I’m holding the weight
You refuse to take
So tell me
Why should I rise
If you don’t rise too
