untitled

The change in me,

All I ask is the change in you.

Am I falling or is it you?

I can't discern who's heart is heavier.

Do you know your power?

Why continue to fall?

I'm a simple young man,

Just take my hand and catch me.

I'll hold you there.

Aren't they strong hands?

Catch me if you will,

So to catch yourself.

i like this poem, its honest simple and straight to the point. why dont you leave it untitled, it makes it mysterious and special in that it is different from other poems, but here are some suggestions for a title; 'Chance in Me' or 'All I Ask' hope this is of use Deryn :O)
