Just Hold the Line

I’m calling
We can talk
You don’t have to
If you don’t want to
I’ll do the talking,
That’s’ fine
It’s not that I don’t care
about how you feel
It’s just, I need some time
I just need you to listen,
Say okay
That’s all, That’s all I want
I’ll take your breath

Don’t tell me what I’m not
Don’t tell me who I am
Don’t talk to me like
I’ve never had a simple thought
Ask questions that begin:
If I may
Please please
just be quiet, don’t shout
This will take awhile, for sure
But I’ve just got to get it out
