i

will

push

back

and fight

and kick

as much as my feeble frame can

because

i can't fathom anyone wanting to stay

once the glamor and i fade.

but if you choose to stay,

and gently move my arms to my side

willing to soothe the crackling in my chest,

then.

then,

there is no defense.

i will be yours.
