Begging

I beg my lungs to inflate, 
to fill with air,
to speak your name or scream, 
- that I do not know. 

I beg my heart to keep beating, 
despite wanting to lurch from my chest. 
To run towards you or from you,
- That I do not know. 

I beg my legs to hold me up,
put one foot in front of the other. 
To walk me forward or off a ledge,
- that I do not know. 

What I do know is, 
when you told me all was over,
I got on my hands and knees

and I begged.
