Tell Me – Written Approx. Late 1993 or January 1994 (Aged 18)

Tell Me

Tell me,
help me now.
Without you,
I am nothing;
with you,
I am something—
and if we have got it,
then that can be
anything.
You can only
jump so far
before you fall,
and there are only
certain places
that you can reach,
even if you are
very tall.
Tell me,
show me,
so that I know
what to do.
Get me out
of this hole
down which
I fell.
I have got
to know—
so help me,
please,
do tell.
I am going
for it,
really thinking
of all the minds
that we are
linking.

James Garratt – 1993/1994
