would you?

if i told you how beautiful you were
how many words would you waste proving me wrong?
now i’m convinced that you could pull the grey
from any passing cloud.

when we were children we watched the trains
go past, at a crawl, and we crawled ourselves,
and no one ever forgot the comfort of forged steel,
broken backbones rebuilt by greedy doctors

if i told you to stay, would you listen?
