| Losing myself In what I believe To be wasted words Wanting it to stay But pushing it away Like I never cared at all Wanting to be somewhere else Or maybe someone else Someone who isn't loved Who isn't cared for Has to live by rules Has to work for what she wants Wanting... too much wanting Be damned the wants You don't need them They hold you to something And when you get it The let you go to want some more But alas others' wants Keep me here They wanted me to promise And I complied Why? Because I wanted to see them smile To see them happy To see them without tear stained cheeks But I wanted to let go But my friends were first Be damned my selfish want to let go And promised them Then they smiled softly I got what I wanted Now why wasn't I happy? Damn the wants of a heart The only things Between me and happiness Love- the want of Between me and death Friends- the promise to Between me and smiling and being happy All the selfish wants But also selfless cares So many things We wonder about All the wants All the cares No one will every truely understand Because we all want to understand In the end We all want (c) January 14th, 2004 |
