Say Come

can I hold on to you?
can I crumble and weep?
can I peel at the varnish?
be ugly and cheap?
say come
never said it
but I’ll say it again
if I wait by the rails
will I hear you go by?
will you serve me my meals
when I’m buried alive?
don’t know where to begin
don’t know how to explain
point the finger and fire it at me
I’ll surrender again
