Please don’t do this half way

If you give a damn at all,

then give it well and fully

Don’t leave me hanging on

to your outstretched hand

by the tips of my fingers

Lift me up, pull me in

I’m dangling from your lifeline

and I think I’d rather just let go

than keep on barely holding

This stop and start, push and pull

isn’t much of a rescue

I’d rather it end mercifully

than live through the sheer torture

of never knowing what this is

or what I’m doing wrong

So reel me in or let me go

Don’t make me cut the line myself

I don’t have the strength
