Let Me Live

Please, listen.
I don't know if you understand me,
these vague nonexistent cries,
but, listen anyways.
I know you think I can't sense it,
sense what you want to truly do;
but please, just let me live.

What I'll become,
that's still unsure;
but I know it'll make you proud.
You have every reason to lose me
in the forgetful haze of a stormy past,
but I have one great reason
for you to brave the night:
Me.

I'm not sure if you can hear my voice,
but if you go through with this,
you never will.
I'm still so small,
some say I don't exist.
But I wish that they knew.
I want to feel a cool summer breeze,
to behold the silent, endless waters,
to hears the trees whispering to the wind,
to live a life you wish to steal.

Him, He wants me to stay,
and I hope you'll listen to Him.
I'm within you.
I'm a part of your body
and a part of your soul.

I can't say I'll remember
the potent power of life you could give,
or that the future can ever be;
but you'll still know how I feel.
Gratitude, beyond any physical means.

But that can never be,
this can never be,
I can never be,
if only you will just please,
Let Me Live.
