Hi Gideon, I like the deceptive simplicity here, nicely personalised, so that there's some ambiguity, i.e., between a personal or political call.

Suggestion: "Cry for me, I cried" could be "Fight for me, I cried".

That fits well with "Bleed for me, I'm wounded" which I think is an excellent phrase.

Also, the third stanza is so good that it does not need the distraction of that conversational "growlin" or nonsensical "til" (till is already a word) neither of which does anything special, so I'd say give back the whole words.

Now, "Coz", of which I'm not a fan of in general is, to me with honesty, a little lazy coz it's too easy to use.

(It's a 'subordinating conjunction', so 'this here whatever' because 'that there whatever'.)

Necessity, sparingly, appropriately, unusually and strategically are some of my bywords for utilizing the power of diction.

In that second last line try "It was" if you don't like "Because" or simply "With faith and hope / I chose you". (The commas before and are not necessary.)

Or go all the way, since this last stanza is the clincher:

"I am waiting and waiting / With faith and high hope / I chose you".
